How can intelligence be a curse ?

SW-User
for example, you could learn about truths that hurt you. Ever heard the expression ignorance is bliss ? There's some truth to that. So yes you can have so much knownledge that it could possibly make you miserable. But on the flip side, if someonething were to make you feel better, it would just take more knowledge. So can never go wrong with inquiry.

Also just in case you're wondering "why not just stay in ignorance" you don't want to do that because at least being intelligent, you will seek out solutions and weighing options. A lot of ignorant people crash when it comes to dealing with problems. Never be too satisfied or too comfortable with your dealings in life. You should always be moving.
Intelligence isn't a curse. But if you're really smart in a world that can be so dumb, it can make you feel like you've been given a curse.

This is exactly what's happening to me and I'm starting to lose purpose
@Puzzleofflesh: fight to keep your purpose! focus on what really matters. forget about people who don't care or are making problems. rise above it!

They aren't making any problems it's just life is boring. I chat with people who are 10 years older than me and i teach them lessons in life.

You can quickly analyse data, predict how things will go and you remain impartial. But then you get shouted down by mobs of idiots that haven't researched the subject who are doing it merely to fit in.
