Trim before it gets grim…

Well, here it ("trim") doesn't relate to the hair in any way... Rather, it pops up to me as a result of the excessive outburst of social awareness, so-called "intellectual" beings, so on and so forth... Ignorance of the common man to the well-obvious burning issues of the society for a very long time; and then the sudden appearance of awareness, sense of social responsibility, and smartness in analyzing, tweeting, re-tweeting and in some cases (so-called) supporting the cause... How do we become so smart within a flash when we are still the same flesh?
This question settles me down around the "smartness" or more basic term "understanding". It leads me back to the English grammar, so very simple, which life isn't (sadly)...
The term "smart" has simpler relative forms: Smart - Smarter - Smartest...
But according to my "THEORY OF SMARTNESS", it follows a different order: Naivety - Innocence - Smartness - Wickedness... 
Yeah, these are not absolute traits; and there is a very thin line between any two adjacent ones... 
These are further driven by "OVERLAP AND 'MIRAGE' EFFECT"... means:
1) There always exists a mix of at least two adjacent traits in a person – an OVERLAP... A person can be naive-innocent / innocent-smart / smart-wicked... A pure naive / innocent / smart / wicked person cannot possibly exist...
2) Our far-sight vision of these traits causes a mirage (an illusion)... What we generally see as “innocence” can be “naivety” in real; and what generally seems as “smartness” can be “wickedness”...
To my say, absolute smartness lies in prowess – the ability to have a closer look inside out (break the mirage), and the ability to control the overlap... Act responsibly (and more importantly) honestly...

Trim a trait before it gets to its next superlative... And that's what it's all about...
