A person with a high IQ can doubt literally everything. His pride shakes the foundations of science, religion, and culture.
But there are things even a brilliant mind can't deny.
For example, pain. A skeptic quickly admits that it is real.
By the way, Buddhists consider pleasure a form of suffering. After all, pleasure isn't endless, and a person knows this beforehand.
Among the positive things are short-term curiosity and long-term interest. Often, it's hard to explain why our attention, like a hook, clings tightly to a certain phenomenon.
Pain and interest are similar in that they are: a) real and b) always on our side. Pain tries to protect us from death, while interest points to our potential for life and creation.
The main mistake is ignoring the subtle signals of both. If there are no explanations for anxiety or fascination with something, it likely means a lack of information or illusions of the mind.
Pay attention. The fog hides valuable personal meaning.
Sincerely yours,
