Where does talent come from and where does it all go away when a person dies? I am sure everyone agrees with me when I say that some people are just born smarter than other people. Is it genes? Scientists may have discovered that genetic factors actually influence intelligence (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/04/060427161424.htm). But... But... But... Why should only a handful of people be given the gift to think better and do better than another person? Why not everyone, why can't a person choose his own levels in wit, beauty and other things? Ofcourse, we put it all on God saying he does everything for a reason but what exactly is the REASON??
And what would happen when this person develops a disorder or a mental disease or stress that wouldn't let him/her use their brain anymore? All their life they knew what they can do and these people would let everything including marriage, children, life go into ruins just to quench their thirst of doing a thing (most of these brilliant people dont do it for money or for fame... they just do it because along with the gift of intelligence comes the responsibility of feeding it, taking more puzzles to keep their brain in motion... once they don't have a puzzle or a job... they feel restless, frustrated)... What happens when you can't do it anymore? What happens when your brain doesn't want to take any more puzzles? What do you do? You can't go back to family or friends because in this quest you have pushed everyone away! You have no life... What would you do? I am not saying they are unhappy during their life, they maybe miserable but they love solving puzzles, completing a project.................................... but what happens after that?
Some of them are lucky... they get married to a perfect partner who would be there for them no matter what and know how to handle them... The rest?
"Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know" Ernest Hemingway, who took his own life in 1961
