Genius does not equal honesty or good character.
- balabaster 9y ago"Honesty" and good character isn't enough to keep you out of prison unfortunately. You can be of exemplary moral character and still end up in prison if you decide to take on a cause that threatens the wrong people or the status quo. Let's take for example Chelsea Manning and also consider what would have happened to Edward Snowden if he'd been caught. So you can be a genius, you can stand for what's right and even if you're not on the wrong side of the law, something will be found or twisted to stop you being a threat. In the case of my example, in the name of national security.
- spraak 9y agoBeing honest and of good character also doesn't mean you can't end up in prison.
