If there is a fine line between genuis and madness .....?

Question

do you genuis's have days when you feel like you've lost the plot?

Answer 1

You Have To Be Mad To Be A Genuis---You Are A GENUIS

Answer 2

Apparently there is!
This is due to the way others see and deal with/look upon the genuis.
The genuis NEVER feels satisfied with:
a] themselves and the success they have achieved,
b] their surroundings,

The genuis NEVER:
a] practises contentment,
d] knows when to end their work,
c] what is to come,

The genuis RARELY:
a] gets credit during their lifetime,
b] reap the fruit of their painstaking efforts during their lifetime.

Answer 3

The Hindu Upanishads call the emotinal mind as Chitta.
It works dominantly in a genuis and a mad person.

Modern psychologists say that passions have the same
limitations of senses as they tend toward immediate
emotional discharge. Chitta is the quick acting
component of the mind which can be termed as leftist or
negative thinking part. It is called negative because
some psychologists felt that it separates the received
information into pieces, contains unintentional and
contradictory ideas, and lacks internal organisation,
inner consistency, and concrete solutions. On the
contrary, some philosophers thought that this is the
'idealistic view' of thinking about a problem. This
center can handle divergent thoughts like a
multi-channel parallel processing hardware in a super
computer. It is the seat of the element Water. It
controls the processing of liquids in the body and
interaction of the body with the liquids out side the
body. Chitta means emotion or intuition. This center is
connected with instincts, urges, impulses, desires,
imagination, sentiments, passions, caring, pleasure,
exploration, unconventional ideas, moods, insight,
superstitions, immodesty, immorality, analysis of
details, concern about particular features, capacity to
find novel relationships, unrestrained expressions
connected with body or mind, molding of past
experiences into new constellations of meanings,
creation of artistic, poetic and musical works and the
like. Seeing a good work of painting or listening to
music of one's liking will set waves of emotion in
Chitta center. This center helps us to imagine things
in new ways. It is known that lighter side of life like
fun may contain silly and ridiculous situations. An
artist is said to go to the extremes to divorce himself
from environmental constraints. Such is the way in
which Chitta works. This center has seeds of past
memories and can access Jnaana center for more details
of each memory. It controls the sensitivity of the
sense-organs. If the vitality of this center gets
reduced due to any reason, the sensitivity of the
sense-organs also gets reduced. For example, the
sense-organs feel sleepy after an ejaculation in man.
Even if the man has very high artistic talents, they
also will not respond normally soon after the
ejaculation. It takes about 40 minutes before some
recovery is felt. This center can be compared to a
convex lens - it provides insight for the subtle. It's
working is similar to Differentiation in mathematics.
It helps to observe all the minor details, and each
minor detail is given very high importance.

Answer 4

A true genius never found the plot to lose it, Einstein reputedly was a genius however he put two pet doors in his front door one for his cat and one for his dog, this as any mathematician will tell you is perfectly logical.
To prove genius does not exist is to prove we do not exist.
A) The amount of possible inhabitable worlds in the universe is infinite.
B) The amount of known population or P
C) divide P by infinity = 0 (zero) therefore we do not exist.
Genius or madness???

Answer 5

I think so, to come up with brand new theories, inventions, creations, music etc., takes a level of thinking beyond the "normal" most people accept being able to do something as well as most people as good enough but a genius can see beyond these boundaries. Being a genius does not make you intelligent or clever, just that you have been fortunate to have discovered your special talent.

Answer 6

Well Einstein was bordering on madness but I think a lot of what people deem as madness could be related to other things like ADD. He had this too. So yes genius' may come across as mad but then if they are on a different level you wouldn't understand them anyway.

Answer 7

It may seem like it to an outsider, but someone who is a genius normally has their mind very involved with complex things, so they have a tendency to neglect the more boring mundane things, which makes people think there is something wrong with them, but in fact they are very sane. They look at ordinary people and their boring lives, having their minds turned to jelly by spending hours every day watching soaps and reality shows, they say to themselves, 'what a cheek they have calling me mad, they are like zombies'!!!!!

Answer 8

Constantly

Answer 9

Very fine. My uncle was a watchmaker, and mathematician, and VERY eccentric. But a very clever man. Unfortunately he did'nt pass it on to me, although I do fiddle with clocks.

Answer 10

A fine line? yes and no sometimes, people just click with you and some people just dont get you at all.
