Minds

Quite a good number of geniuses commit suicide because most people can't understand them.

You see, I don't really call myself a genius but somehow, I see the world so differently than most people would. Years of opening up to the many corners of the earth and knowing people out there, as well as having an interest in what's there in the rest of the whole universe - I then look at how other people get involved in their own little wars and shook my head.

I have a strong belief in the saying, "Great minds think ideas, mediocre minds think events, small minds think people". People in the sciences and in the arts are real greats. I have massive respect for them.

But humans can't get along and cooperate without interaction. Hence a human needs to be assertive to others' own minds no matter how small - and that's where some of these great minds die a quick death.

Which mind would you choose? A small mind that lives long or a great mind that dies young? Actually I'd like to be a great mind that thinks ideas on how to live longer i.e. trying to socialise, to connect. But, like what happened with some of those other great minds, the people around me with small minds are pushing me to the edge.
