Why are some people who are smart/wise/mature so sad and confused sometimes?

Question

And sometimes nostalgic?

Answer 1

We all have our problems. No one can have everything [[except maybe God]].
Sometimes people become smart/wise/mature because of past mistakes or hardships that make them sad, as well.

I, for one, have been more cautious about women, because my first girlfriend apparently just used me to get back at her ex-boyfriend. But I finally found a girl that likes me for who I am; she respects me and really understands me. Thank God.

As for nostalgia, everyone has better times in the past. It especially hurts when a person--a dear person--is lost either by death or by distance. Other lost cherished things include youth.

Answer 2

Because they're smart/wise/mature. Those things make you sad. That's just the nature of things.

Answer 3

Because smart people don’t' make sense of your real inner-conviction/intuition; so it's the whys and the wherefores of their sadness that make them confused and nostalgic.

Answer 4

Because sometimes they get tired of dealing with stupid/insipid/ignorant/immature people,who are breading faster then the smart/wise/mature people.

Answer 5

they are depressed, well that iswhat it sounds like. Alot of mature,smart, wise people are very "book smart" but when it comes to common sense. forget it. When one talks about a subject they are no very good with or understand, they may feel out of sorts.

Answer 6

Because of being so out of synch with popular culture and most other people.
