Genius or madman

"There is no great genius without some touch of madness."

Seneca

All people want to be geniuses and want their children to be geniuses. And in the end all children are really geniuses for their parents. After all it is fascinating when children being 15 know so many things. Geniuses, talented, child prodigy and many other words are used to call genius people and children who show their extraordinary skills since childhood.

Unfortunately not everybody is born being genius but still there are several of them that have become great inventors, artists, scientists, etc. They became famous thanks to their extraordinary mind that was sometimes not understood properly. That is why the majority of people were not recognized by their contemporaries. And this is the worst that can be because geniuses passed ahead their time.

There is the spread thought that all geniuses are crazy people. And really people have the right to say it because they have the certain background based on the examples of famous people that were always considered to be crazy.

That is why the life of genius was always very complicated and was filled with difficulties and obstacles that geniuses usually overcame easily. And even if geniuses were recognized they were not satisfied with their work. To be born genius means to doom the life to fighting.

Imagine the great potential of thoughts and emotions conserved in the mind of the certain person who has the possibility to make all thoughts come true. But another problem is that the phenomenon of genius is not accepted by other people. And it means that all ambitions people have are destined to be wasted. Imagine if Galileo Galilei had the possibility to develop without suppression of inquisition, or if Lorca wasn't killed when he finally realized the essence of poetry, etc.

Sometimes people have to make the choice to be genius or to be alive. Being really geniuses they choose the first variant.
