Quote by Todd Solondz
The ability to take pleasure in ones life is a skill and is a kind

The ability to take pleasure in ones life is a skill and is a kind of intelligence. So intelligence is a hard thing to evaluate and it manifests itself in so many different ways. I do think the ability to know how to live a life and not be miserable is a sign of that. – Todd Solondz
