If you break me
I do not stop working.
If you touch me
I may be snared.
If you lose me
nothing will matter."

But even intelligence and clear thinking are not widely used in a global perspective.

Dr. Rational's Enigmas

"An enigma is a riddle written in verse. Here's the first of a few for my RHP General Forum Friends to solve:"

The Rich Require

What does a man love more than life
Fear more than death or mortal strife
What the poor have, the rich require,
and what contented men desire.
What the miser spends and the spendthrift saves
And all men carry to their graves?
