I've always been fascinated by how the human mind works, how
it can come up with a good decision although it's the first time they've
encountered the issue or how they can choose between two similar options and
still be proud or shocked about their own choices.
Scribbling nonsense, obsessive compulsiveness, being
eccentric, weird habits, daydreaming, drug abuse. These are just some of the
habits a person with mental retardation will show. But, it is also the habits
of geniuses like Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Socrates and Sheldon Cooper.
But what does it take to be like them? And if given the
opportunity, would you like to be one of them?
Let's look at it this way, they have given much contribution
to science and the world in general. They have explained how things work and a
better understanding of our surroundings. They are popular, smart, and most
probably rich. But of course it's not all fun and games and pretty things. Most
of these geniuses experienced trauma in their lives that MAY have led to the
discovery of the things they have discovered. Or, they are considered what we
now call "borderline autism". Or just plain weird. And because of
these traits and odd personalities, they are uneasy w/ their current
surroundings, so they end up thinking of ways to better their lives.
But is it worth it? I mean, yes they have done considerable
achievement in their respective fields and a big contribution to humanity. But
if you think about it, they've led a harsh life. Being bullied in school just
because you're different. Being called a nerd. Being ignored by the 'crush ng
bayan'. Being the subject of criticism and gossip just because you're the
teachers pet. Not being able to enjoy your childhood just because you're an
outcast, a geek, a nerd, a loser.
So here's something to think about, would you like to live a
normal life and enjoy your childhood and die as a somebody? Or live like a
nerd, mature at a very young age and die as a legend?
