Why highly intelligent people are NOT happy.

Quote from lxor:

Happiness is caused by how we view the world(ourselves, others, problems, events and everything else). This is usually not a choice unless we consciously make it so - done automatically by our minds.

The world is not bad or good, pleasant or cruel, it just is. Whatever meaning you assign to it is your own.

the world is not "just is" it is a combination of everything...bad, good and ugly..although when veiwing the media one would think it is all cruel ( rightfully so )....how you react, handle it or view it is what can change your attitude. you are correct..
 
Quote from Matt24SPFL:

I already know that the only thing that will ever bring me true happiness is to have a child. I know an extremely intelligent, very wealthy man who, if he didn't have a kid, he wouldn't be happy at all.

The key to happiness to to find something greater than your own existance to believe in. (God, a child, a partner, a job)

I'm still working on that.

:D

I'd like to make a general comment. Wanting to have a child could be our base natural instinct to spread the "seed". Have a namesake, someone to carry our genes.

One might admire and look up to someone who has found happiness in having children.

I do think, once we achieve some of what we want, money, power and understand it's limitations for happiness is when we seek to find meaning in greater existence. I think at this point everyone differs on how much money and how much power or never come to the realization after all.
 
Because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns -- the ones we don't know we don't know."
 
Quote from I am...:

Christ is the process of creation that delivers to you what you ask.

Christ has everything. Is everything.

Everything you experience or experience not, you've asked for...always.

You will experience the effects of what is held in the mind.

What you hold there is what you ask for...what you pray for.

There is confusion among the thoughts you hold in mind.

So the results are haphazard...sometimes hazardous to your health.

It takes a bit of faith to accept this.

But realize that much of what you see has been asked for at subconscious levels that pre-date the appearance of birth in a body.

What has been asked for has narrowed self awareness.

Now there must be a vigilance about what is held in mind. Thoughts must be looked at. Beliefs must be examined.

These are what is delivering to your experience.

There are so many unworthy thoughts held in mind that to sort through them would take you an eternity.

So I recommend emptying your mind of every thought without striving to determine whether you are dumping true thoughts.

You will be filled full with true thoughts only.

That would be like hitting the jackpot.

Jesus:)

Sounds like you have money.

The single mother who works three jobs and consequently can't keep her kids out of the cop shop definitely has a true problem.
 
Quote from Illuminated One:


I do not wish superior intellect on anyone.

Superior intellect? An IQ of 147 is no more indicative of a developed intellect than a high percentage of fast twitch muscle is indicative of athletic competence.

I've met people in Mensa with 170+ IQ's who have the intellectual depth of fruit flies.
