How come the more you know, the more lonely you become...?

Answer 1

You alienate yourself from the rest of followers, because you dont want to be like them and they dont want your beliefs. Which comes to mind what's more important, to fit it but repress your beliefs or to believe what you chose but be alone.

I say alone :)

Eventually everyone is alone, because everyone is unique, if you fine 100% difference between yourself and others, and others do it too, then everyone is alone.

Answer 2

Because the more you know the more you realize how much there is still to know. It deflates the ego. This won"t do. This feels like death. So you boost up your ego by bragging about the little you know, so others think that you know a lot. But the really wise welcome this deflation of the ego as a kind of liberation from tyranny, the burden of amassed facts and information, miss-called knowledge.That is why Socrates was considered by the Oracle as the wisest of men, because he alone recognized that he knew nothing.

Answer 3

If knowledge is making you lonely, perhaps you should seek out smarter companions. That way you'll be on equal footing and have a broader basis for friendship. On the other hand maybe it's not what you know that is making you lonesome. It might be your
attitude, your behavior, or a myriad of other things; including emotional and/or behavioral disfunctions.

Answer 4

From my own experience that is just the begining of the enlightenment process, because most of the people do not get you, given their inability to see outside the box, the big picture and really understand its true worth. You may feel lonley in the physical plan, but if you reach into your higher self and source of everything you will be able to understand and feel that is not really so, we are always looked upon and in company of our spiritual guides.

Answer 5

Because the more you know, the more you want to know, and you can never know everything.

Thus, know what you can, and learn all you can, but with the help of others who wish to know as much as possible. When you develop conflicting ideas, good! For if everyone agrees, then you will never achieve the true answer.

Answer 6

I dont see the connection. Knowledge to me has nothing to do with being asocial. Being a recluse is a mental choice. Take your knowledge and do some volunteer work with it. Youll be surrounded by appreciative people.

Answer 7

knowledge is addictive. When one recieves a heafty amount one is likely to want more, the pursuit of knowledge often takes the seeker's focus away from people and onto more knowledge, and alas knowledge can never fill the hole left over by a lack of people.

Answer 8

People distance themselves away from your knowledge and the truth because their afraid. People tend to be skeptics and lean more towards traditional ways of thought in which places you outside of a so-called "box".

Answer 9

The more you know, the more you feel like you have awaken from the illusions around you. You'll have ideas that are different from others and you will find it hard to accept things that you'd normally accept.

Answer 10

People don't want to accept the truth, so the real truth doesn't have many followers. You shouldn't see this situation as a failure. You should see it as a confirmation of your value.
