it’s not that they hate the world it’s that they see too much of it. every word carries weight, every silence hides a map. they walk among crowds like divers in shallow water, always aware of the depth beneath other people’s laughter. their solitude isn’t sorrow, it’s space to breathe, a temple built from thought, from the ache of knowing. they love the world but must step back to see it whole. i write for those who turn isolation into insight.

the wise don’t flee, they simply stay where quiet minds can think and pray, they see the noise for what it is a cage that dulls what freedom is. the talk is loud, the hearts are thin, so they retreat to look within, their solitude—a sacred art, a map engraved upon the heart. they walk alone, but not apart, the world still beats inside their heart, for wisdom blooms when stillness sows, and peace is found where silence grows. i write for those who see the world clearer from a distance.

Better off alone perhaps

Very true. It's very frustrating to see obvious things that are obviously not obvious to others.

This video proves an old greek saying: "A stupid boy is full of joy." The more you perceive the sadder life becomes.

The problem is, you might be able to deal with things and keep moving forward. But most can't deal with things. Just sit there now. One day you won't be here. So all this time your wasting not doing what you want cause your nervous. You'll never get to do ever again...

Truly intelligent people will not dumb down in order to fit in, Nor will they feel lonely when others isolate them . Always Think God's thoughts with the mind of Jesus Christ & not that of men. The Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom & WE are not ashamed.

It means I’m intelligent? Oh great I was worried it just meant I’m a miserable douche

This hits so hard right now. 🖖✊🥹

What is the use of being alone and intelligent?

Intelligent people are becoming increasingly connected in today’s world. If you are alone, you should be seeking out more individuals of higher intelligence than yourself. Don’t cling to loneliness as a sign of moral superiority due to assumed intellect.

So beautifully said. ❤️💐💯 Philippians 4

hmm, maybe its like holding cryptolonely but worth it

@grok give us a link to the full Alan watts lecture please.

If someone says something you don't like. Make an excuse to leave and talk to someone else. And don't let your intelligence make you a superior snob. Use it to assess the person and connect on their level. Find something you can agree on/common ground. I like people and it helps.

Never thought of it like this, but yes it's social suicide. Also, I don't play politics well.

Because their mind is their best friend:)

Normal life runs on habits and routines. In this case, intelligent is always intruder making enquiry. So no-one is interested in him. He gets isolated.

Absolutely correct

Myths of intelligent people...or always alone or never understoot or never have an vast opinion. I think their are different types of intelligent people influeced by their proffesion.
