I really believe it, too. Actually, I know he is. And it's got nothing to do with having or not having a college degree.
You have no idea how many educated, but unwise people I've met, PhDs, Mensa members, who can come across as very shallow, who are unable to handle life's challenges; choleric characters, obsessed with not so relevant facts; who can tell you, for example, when the certain book was published, the title, the author, every fact, and every review, but the essence, the point of the book eludes them...
And vice versa - I've met illiterate peasants ( the school I work in is in a rural area) who have more wisdom of life in their pinky nail than all those doctors; who communicate with nature, elements, animals, and they draw their conclusions spontaneously, unpretentiously, silently, but you can tell from their demenour, their relation towards others, or life in general, and their behaviour how enlightened they are...
I value intuition over information, contents over package, wisdom over education, quality over quantity;and I feel Adam does as well. In the beginning I thought that there must be many Adams in this world and that I just haven't had the chance to meet them, but I can see that he is a rarity even in the developed countries... in his own country as well... A free spirit, a believer in love, in art... who seeks his happiness in communicating with other people; a sweet character, but not naive or gullible; a great and quick learner, but who never lets his knowledge taint his sweetness with presumptuousness; an iron hand in a silk glove...
His socio-emotional intelligence is extremely high, you can tell it from his interviews, from the ways he handles certain situations... He is so positive, agreeable, pleasant... I don't like dark, moody people, who are always bitter and cynical, despicable towards others; Adam's disposition which he works seriously on, his introspectiveness, self-awareness, are so appealing to me. He chooses to be nice and not play some cool dude and he keeps saying he is not cool, but he so is in my book, if not for anything else then for not trying to play one...
He is a thinker, focused on matters which he finds relevant and you can tell his priorities from that, his likes and dislikes, dos and donts... And all that combined tells about his moral code and the first and foremost reason why I admire him that much is exactly that - his moral code.
In a recent interview he talked about silencing the outside noise; I think he meant the stuff like radio play, adds, dates, data, numbers, info, etc... He has to tune them out in order to create music, and it's not easy and it's a process for him, to focus himself; and I love him for saying that and for doing that... Not many people do that. I can tell how intelligent he is from the sheer way he is able to focus: on music when he works, on an interviewer during the interview, on his audience when he sings, I presume on his lover when he makes love... He wants to do everything he does the best possible way he can... to feel and experience everything to the fullest degree.
I've never known anyone like him and my husband always tells me that I'm seeking the impossible, a non-existant man who lives only in my mind and English literature, lol. But that's not true - Adam comes as close as no one else to my definition of a perfect man, in spite of all his imperfections. And he is very much alive and kicking. Adam is the evidence that I am not crazy.
I have to go now. Kudos to all who managed to read my bs, can't you tell that I could go on and on and on... lol . Broken record.
