The main thing is, please don't trust just anyone. I know you're a genuinely good person, and that's exactly why people can sometimes take advantage of your kindness. You have no way of knowing what someone's intentions really are.
          	
          	Even if they beg or plead with you, don't take unnecessary risks. Take them to the police station and let the police decide who they are, whether their story is genuine, and what should be done about the situation.
          	
          	Or, if you can't leave wherever you are, call the police and ask them to come to your location. Tell them:
          	
          	"I found this stranger here at [insert your location]. I don't know who they are because they're a stranger to me. They're asking me for help. They may be completely genuine, but I don't know that. For all I know, they could be a thief or someone who intends to harm me. Please come and verify the situation."
          	
          	You can't always simply refuse to help either, because if the person is genuinely in trouble, you may feel responsible for turning them away. And if you refuse directly, there's also a possibility that the person could keep following or harassing you.
          	
          	So let the police handle it.
          	
          	You want to help them? Fine. But you don't have to personally put yourself at risk to do it. Call the police. They'll figure out whether they're genuine or not. If they genuinely need help, police will help them. If they're lying or have done something wrong, let the police deal with it appropriately.
          	
          	That's the safest way to handle it.
          	
          	You're a very good person, and I don't want someone taking advantage of that kindness or fooling you simply because you wanted to help. You weren't put on this earth to take unnecessary risks for strangers.

I would be more than happy to judge new category
          But can I get the extension of a week? 5 days won't be enough
          Because there are 8 entries for me to judge 
          So I would take a week
          Can I get a week? please? Thank you.

marigoldsagittarius

@dudaninayana Sure! Today is 12 July, so a week would be till 19 July. 
            
            Thank you so much!

Hi! 
          
          I see you deleted your Insta (maybe?) so can I contact you through Substack comments (or are PMs a thing? I've never used it). 
          
          Thanks again for judging, and I'll be assigning you best protagonist with a deadline of 18 July if you're comfortable with that? Do reply and let me know.

dudaninayana

I read your latest message. Thank you so much for giving me the extension. I really appreciate it.
          
          The only problem is that I don't use Discord. Is there any other way I can contact you?
          
          I'm posting this as a separate comment because, if I had replied directly to your previous message, it most likely would've disappeared. I've noticed that replies are much more likely to vanish, whereas comments I post independently on Wattpad have a better chance of staying visible.
          
          I really hope this message reaches you.
          
          And once again, I'd be more than happy to judge any additional categories if they're assigned to me, provided I can have a 3–4 day or one-week extension for those new categories.
          
          Sorry for repeating myself. I just wanted to make sure at least one of my messages finally reached you.
          
          Thank you.

@dudaninayana Hi! We're sorry you've had so many issues with wattpad. The anti-spam filter has been way too overactive lately. 
          
          First, thanks so much for helping us with 
          the judging! 
          
          If it isn't too much trouble, could you possibly consider judging the best protagonist category? Our judge for it dropped out and we've been trying to find a new one since. We would be happy to give an extension of a five days from now, 11 July. Ofc there is no pressure

marigoldsagittarius

@dudaninayana (continued, hit the post button too soon)... to accept. 
            
            By the way, five of your messages are visible on our wall, but the others and the comments on our work do seem to have disappeared. Regardless, don't take any stress about it. 
            
            If you want to contact us any other way, do you have Discord? Our username is marigoldsagittarius.

Recently, I've been struggling with a dilemma.
          
          For a long time, I thought being good at maths, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and similar subjects was what made someone intelligent. Then I started thinking that being fluent in multiple languages and understanding them deeply was a sign of intelligence.
          
          But later, I was told that being good at those things doesn't automatically make someone intelligent. It simply means you have a strong memory in those areas.
          
          After all, memory and intelligence aren't necessarily the same thing. People often label others as "smart" or "stupid," but even those labels can be misleading. Different people remember different things. Some remember numbers, formulas, and vocabulary. Others remember stories, emotions, or painful experiences. The ability to remember something doesn't seem to determine a person's worth or intelligence.
          
          That got me thinking: what actually makes someone intelligent?
          
          Is memory really the same thing as intelligence?
          
          Even AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok have forms of memory. They can store information, recall previous conversations, and remember certain details. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is a separate debate.
          
          But is that what makes them intelligent? Does the ability to store and retrieve information automatically count as intelligence?
          
          Or is intelligence something more than memory? If so, what exactly is that "something more"?
