Why highly intelligent people are NOT happy.

Quote from Illuminated One:

there is wisdom on ET after all

Hmm. You seem to be smiling a lot. Have you heard it said that ignorance is bliss? And here you are, one happy guy.

Quote from Thunderdog:

Few? According to some practitioners in the field, despite the proliferation of so-called anti-depressant medications, depression is a bigger problem than most people realize and is largely underdiagnosed. I don't know one way or the other, but I do agree that, in varying degrees, it may come down to a matter of choice for some, but not all, people.

Yes...I recognize a few % of the population suffer from serious depression, for them, being happy is not a choice. For the rest of us, being happy is largely a choice, and we have the power to be happy any time we choose.

Well, I can tell you that Suzanne Malveaux and Ashley Judd have the power to make me happy, but they have yet to exercise that power.

Nah, that's not my style. I tend to play "hard to get." Of course, in my case that typically translates to "hard to know he's alive" for most women. It's a work in progress. I'm still tweaking the variables.

"playing hard to get" is a synonym for insecure.this ain't a dress rehearsal .. this IS the play :/

Yeah, but my female co-stars keep fudging their lines and turning what should have been a full-length production into a one-act play.

my iq is over 155 n I see my self as pretty stupid, just alot smarter than the general population. I don't see why you feel so smart, bill gates has 160+ iq n he still drinks beer with balmer.

An intelligent person is not necessarily a person with a high IQ, or someone with a PhD.

An intelligent person is someone who knows himself and is honest with himself.
