Humble, with a bit of kanye

                       Being a neurotic intellectual who is constantly encircled by spoiled anti-intellectuals, it's challenging to find common ground in this stage of life. Finding people who operate on the same frequency as I have become a herculean task, finding them is rare, it's like finding a unicorn in a world full of sheep.

                                     I can't be myself around most people in my life right now because some things do not really resonate with them the same way they do with me. That's not to say their worldview is naive or idiotic; I acknowledge and respect the differences. 

As they say 'arrogance of the Intellect' is something all religions had warned about. If you are wise as well as smart, and there is no relation between being wise and being smart, they are not the same thing, there is no quick pathway from smart to wise,", some of the 'wise' people I've met have really been intellectually challenged, or culturally, or both. 

You could just call these people "idiots" and move on, but that's not how you grow as a human. After quite a lot of thought, I came to the conclusion that if you're intelligent and wise, you can have your siloed creative community of carefully chosen friends, but you should also develop enough wisdom to see all the things that other people can do, that are of high ethical utility but outside of your intellectual domain, so the thing that came out of this internal conflict I've been facing is, you should have a good equation of intellectual brilliance with moral superiority. If intellectuals would just drop the feeling of moral superiority, then life would be so much easier for them, I will definitely work on this.

The feeling better about myself since I have a perfect and prevalent moral compass would only get me separated from most people, and I am aiming to be a better version of myself so I should just drop the arrogance that comes with my moral compass, yes that should definitely work, because... I have realized that I can't compete with someone outside the intellectual domain and that's making me bitter at some end, it's like having a better brain but with an underdeveloped human attached to it, and that's what is causing so much unbalance in my life, and that's not how the world works that's not how you do your part in the society, if I could just kill my arrogance, I would do significantly more and accomplish significantly more in life than I have till now.

"Elon Musk can't dunk" is one of my favorite quotes of all time, no matter how good anyone is at something they completely suck at something else.

Minus Two

I remember so clearly the first time I saw you,  proudly, confidently striding through the classroom.  yet sitting quietly and minding your own business as usual. At that moment I hated absolutely the idea of you.  To me, you were the epitome of a privileged life.    I imagined the wonderful childhood you had  with happy confident parents who praised you and gave you all that you needed.   You later came to speak to me and introduced yourself.   I felt so beneath you and insecure.    How could I possibly live in a world with people as happy, confident, and secure?   I resented what you stood for.  But over time, I started noticing you looking at me,    your eye-catching mine, and lingering for too long. At first, I thought I had imagined it and that it was all in my head.    But then I found myself starting to, seek you out,  stay back at the canteen if I thought...

Slow Knife

In the shadow of shared laughter, there used to be a yellow flower,  but lines were blurred, boundaries crossed,  trust was shattered, a bond lost. Each betrayal, a wound so deep,  Yet still, memories haunt my sleep.  closest one's hurt the most they say, and you my little one have proved it again. A slow knife cuts the deepest they say, never thought I too would get it one day. Your lies were always so so good,  know you are the reason it's come to an end. And all that peace & harmony,  I built for years,  Is gone now and left me in tears I fought, I tried, but had to part. A heavy weight upon my heart.  We're family and nothing can change that, But we'll never be friends, and that's a fact. Do you walk your path alone? Or find solace in a home unknown?  I wonder often, in the silent night, If you've found your own guiding light. Though scars remain, aching yet,  I wish you peace, without regret. For in the echo of what we once had,...
