People please stop sending me comments about this. I deleted the previous compliment on purpose. All I said is I felt sad for Hemingway, the tragedy of his death. By the way my IQ is around 180, to all of the people calling me dumb.
There are different types of intelligence: emotionally intelligent, social intelligence, etc.People who write things off as dumb without any thought are the stupid people and basically ignorant is another word for them.
i totally agree with the documentsmart people think too much, they muse on everything....lament the decay of morals and stuff......i mean, my dad is pretty smart. and i don't think he's very happy with his life...he always complains about how he didn't achieve what he could've accomplished. and i'm just like..."......". c'mmon ...at least you're not starving in africa. and when i tell him that it's better to be a little dumb and happy than smart and unhappy, he's like "you're a failure.....no ambition at all..."isn't that just sad.....all the smart people torture themselves.......
If everyone in the world but one person is mentally retarded i think that this one person would feel intelligent. One would also know that nobody would be able to understand this one intelligent person.
Intelligent people know that whatever people commment on this is only taken as an opinion and that each persons opinion written is is not only from what one 'THINK' but highly altered by ones emotion that one feels at the time. Intelligent people know that human beings are animals that cannot help to give an opinion back without ones own emotion altering their thoughts. Intelligent people know things that cannot be helped and understand that not one person cannot give the most accurate conclusion to this topic on the internet. Intelligent people know that many people will feel emotion after reading my opinion and that their emotions will overpower their thoughts. (agreed or disagreed)
no no it's right
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
If you go on my website euchred.com there is an article there about low latent inhibition which you will probably find very interesting also. Thanks for the read.
I think that this is often true, but that doesn't mean there aren't exceptions. Not all intellegent children are social outcasts...
What??? This article, as articulate as it is, isn't something I agree with. You can't say that Ernest Hemingway has mental disoder because he is a genius. There are plenty of mediocrities who are even more unhappy. Hemingway is a special case, not a representation of the great thinkers and scientists and artists out there.
very informative and helpful for people searching happiness
but its realy sade to see an unhappy intilligent man ,nature and a very understanding ladies can make there happeness .
they tend to be unhappy beause they need more response about there existance ,but a lack of positivisme on them is the big probleme .
Hemingway was a Bipolar drunk! besides, he didn't have the internet. it lets all the smart people hangout together. together, we will rule the world wide, web hehe. we can talk to all of the smart people in the world.
SO UNTRUE! Time after time, research in IQ and happiness has shown that there is little correlation between IQ and happiness Happiness is independent of IQ. If someone tells you they have a high IQ, you could not make a safe bet that they were happy or that they were unhappy. In fact, most people with higher than average IQ are, like most of the population, on the happy side most of the time. (For the research studies, see research by people like Chris Peterson, Ed Diener, Marty Seligman, and others in the field of Positive Psychology.)
"Hemingway, who took his own life in 1961, knew his share of both intelligent people and of unhappiness." He was pushed over the edge at the hands of psychiatry!
Intelligence? What does that actually mean too?One would assume that if you're intellient you would thus be able to plan, map out and execute solid lines of approach into life and make a roaring success out of it ... right? After all, isn't that what intelligence actually tells us? They have better ability than the average Joe to get things done in life with. So, what's the problem?Obviously, if they were or are intelligent they would be able to solve the situations they are confronted with. That would be an obvious observation made of intelligent people - so where is the problem? If one were a bum living on the street or in a forest as a hermit, have you ever asked him if he's happy living that way? And if he is, wouldn't that make him all the more intelligent than the high IQ people living in wealth but slowly killing themselves through anti-depressant drugs because they aren't?This is another of Psychology/psychiatry's misdiagnosis of a term: intelligency is a measure, and only a rough one at that, of how well that individual can survive in his current environment. High grades in school mean nothing in society if they can't interact with another human being - they'd have zero IQ there. So this then obviously brings up an immediately solution to the problem - help people get in communication with other people who have low self-esteem or low Intelligency where it comes to handling other people.
Happiness? What is it and is it attainable?My first comment on his article is its highly generalised in a way which appears to be credible but is hardly conclusive. Happiness would the overcoming of obstacles and barriers and oppositions in the attainment of freedoms and goals. The highs would be success and the lows would be the succumbing to the barriers. If one were climbing a mountain and stopped because it was too 'tough' then they could be considered to have gone into a depression on the matter. But simply re-directing that individuals attention to the game at hand and possibilities of making the goal sort in the first place they would ultimately come to the realisation that happiness would indeed be obtained through that target attainment.Further, happiness is the successfull accomplishment of an abundance so as never to be in need again of that thing. Nothing would be able to knock one off of that abundance and even short falls wouldn't pull it all the way down.Lastly, one either gets a group activated in making the changes needed or one doesn't and hence his accomplishment of what he intends does get fulfilled or it doesn't thereby. YOu can see here that again we have happiness in the attainment of the goal or depression in the face of obstacles.

My God... Intelligent people tend to suffer more simply because they think every little detail through? When EVER has a purely carnal instinct been thought through to good effect?
