being intelligent as a gift or a curse

Our women had been disturbed with a certain agenda--being smart to compete with mankind or stay dim to highlight mankind / be the garnish of mankind?

Of course, it's more about personal choice; but somehow it causes me concerned: "with all these responsibilities, maternal duties, sexual expectation of the society, and so on; how can we finally find the way to balance them out?"

Major dilemma, being a smart , self-confident woman with lots of compliments, honour, etc, but in every single minute, she has to face the difficulties alone, being extremely lonely(mentally ), with no secured shoulders to lean/cry on, no hugs to be comforted. In that sense of being intelligent, is it really a gift?

Unfortunately, we are way used to push ourselves to be tougher, better, stronger; for we have certain phobia of being silly, common cow, or anything else. And therefore, it is like an endless circle, which scaffolding up our depression, and so on and on.

Cynicism? No, it's just a cruel reality which keeps us in these hopeless, pathetic place. Abandoning? escaping? or avoiding the coming responsibilities? No! Never in a million years, being as a woman with those messed-up/ so-called intelligent mind, I will never give up, but keep on going and struggling.

Good to hear you dynamic!

Is intelligence a gift or a curse? This is an ancient question. Accumulated experience seems to suggest that it is a gift.

The problem of balancing and combining things becomes unsolvable when people do not understand. It is very different when they do.

So I agree that reality can be cruel, but I don’t think that it is hopeless.

I am sure there are people who feel good just by thinking of you.

There are various ways to understand `cynicism'.

The way I understand the word, in contemporary talk, it means that everything is pretty much the same, and nothing really matters more than something else, and whether we do this or that, it makes no real difference, despite appearances.

So understood, cynicism is simply not true. It may provide temporary relief, under some conditions, but, because it is not true, it will eventually let you down.

I don't mean to sound dogmatic, but that's the way I see it.

The concept I described above is also referred to as `nihilism'.

Another contemporary meaning of `cynicism' - closer to the original - is that people are motivated purely by self-interest. I don't think that is true either.

But I can sympathise (up to a point...) with people who are seeking that temporary relief.
