The Genius

I always wake up in a sweat when my mind runs faster than my body. The permutations and combinations that I sometimes find myself in leave me wondering how I ever got to where I am in a solution without truly coming back to the basics at any point.

I learnt once that everything you do gets stronger if you master the basics. But, what if you master the most complex solutions by simply understanding the pattern and then find a way to the basics? Does that make you any less of a smart person? Does it mean your a cheat? Does it leave you with a sense of emptiness because your accomplishments prior to the discovery of the fundamentals have offered so much more than the root of its nature?

Today, I came up with a solution that made me wonder how smart I really am. Sometimes I even wonder if I am in the right place but all that means nothing now. A strange event in my life has taught me something that no living being ever truly learns by themselves. The title of genius is not one that is gained by the work you do ... it is gained by the appreciation of the environment you are working so hard to better. And for the most part, in my life, I have helped people reach goals and make their lives better but at the cost of neglect in certain aspects of my life that should mean more to me than anything else. I have strived to reach heights in my intellect that I now look back upon as a total waste of time considering all that I have lost along the way. Going to parties and getting social entertainment doesn't mean your living and until I figure out what that really means I can never be a genius. I had a dream about a concept called Active-Foresight and I am now working on truly understanding it before I can even blog about the silly thing. When I do, I believe I will be closer to actually living instead of existing and I hope that anyone reading this blog doesn't take this as a slander for any kind of personal achievement they may experience in their lives. Geniuses come in many forms and some may not even offer solutions but may act as mere catalysts for others to reach a potential much less than their own. To close this blog, I can only say this; the art of learning is one that is not mastered in a day or a second, it takes dedication and learning and something we call 'living'. I hope one day that I too will find that mental satisfaction and I personally hope that religion has nothing to do with it.
