In other words, whether you are too smart or too affectionate, it is easy for you to get hurt, whether physically or emotionally, which will eventually lead to your short life.

There is an idea in "wisdom will hurt, love will not last long", that is, "extremes meet." You know, China's tradition emphasizes the "golden mean" and "harmony". Everything should be measured, whether it is good or bad. If it is excessive, it will lead to the opposite direction.
There is a word in the Book of Changes called "Is it too late", which means that if a thing is extremely bad, it will turn into a good one. In other words, we should be careful not to go to extremes. Everything in the world, good and bad, is constantly changing in the cycle.
Life can't be smooth sailing, you will often encounter difficulties. When you encounter difficulties and solve them, you will improve yourself and become a strong person. Therefore, difficulties are both a bad thing and a good thing. People who are too smart and emotional die early because you are too emotional and eventually lead to physical dysfunction.
People who are "extremely intelligent will hurt people, but will not live long" generally don't understand this, or just go to extremes and eventually lead to tragedy. People say that there is only one step between a genius and a madman, and people who are too smart will not live long. For example, Cao Chong and Ganluo in ancient China, many scientists in the West, such as mathematician (the originator of computer invention) Turing (who committed suicide at the age of 465,438+0) and so on.
People call it "jealous genius". Actually, this has nothing to do with God. Successful people and smart people, in addition to their unique talents, the most important thing is to devote themselves wholeheartedly to everything they do. We ordinary people, as long as we do one thing very seriously and reach a state of selflessness, will generally achieve good results in doing one thing.
Why is there only one step between a genius and a madman? That is, because a genius is too devoted, the nervous system is often damaged and eventually becomes abnormal. In the interpretation method of humanities, a person is too involved in one thing, can't get out, live in his own thoughts forever, or can't distinguish between reality and thoughts in his mind.
Therefore, in the face of a thing, or a love, we must have the ability of self-adjustment, and we must not let ourselves sink into it, and finally let ourselves be possessed.
