Many  greatly gifted people choose not to use their talents for the good of others. What is sadder is that sometimes, gifted people also try to take the easy way out from the rigorous process of the pursuit of perfection. They cheat themselves of the gems they could possess.

The saddest of all are the nurturers of these great individuals...for we see the precious gifts deteriorate, flushed down the drain, never to be used in uplifting and inspiring others in their own pursuits of enlightenment and perfection.
