Because smart people tend to think that everyone around them is also smart. And it turns out “woe from wit”, described by Griboyedov. In fact, the mind is the basis of wisdom, it brings us closer to God.
First, if humans hadn't studied the world around them since ancient times, they would have simply died out as a member of the species. It was through brain development that our ancestors learned to write, count, experiment with materials, make weapons, build huts, and adapt to the climate. The accumulated knowledge became the ground for nurturing the minds of a new generation and their survival. If it wasn't for them, we don't know where we would be right now.
Second, ” bad ” is the subjective opinion of one person or group of people. There are people who don't benefit from your development. Most of them are people who are used to living one day without changing anything. “I already feel good”, “Again, something new has been invented”, “It was better before”,” And so it will do”,” You know less, you sleep better ” – all this is their main credo. These are people with weak will and discipline, who like to whine and insult people for no reason. They are not used to learning, they have no perseverance, because they lack motivation. Trying to change their attitude to you is useless, and do you really need it? Look for and learn from those people who know what they want and strive for their goal.
And third, the mind is the engine of progress. Without it, neither the house nor the family can be supported. Everyone can be smart, but a person who knows himself and his capabilities can learn.
No, being smart isn't bad at all.
Speaking of school time, many children really don't want to feel damaged or don't understand something. Children especially feel the difference when their parents tell them at home that no matter what they do, they are still the best. When they go to school, they find themselves in a field of competition that they are completely unprepared for. Children who understand or perceive the material more difficult than others may be due to hyperactivity or dyslexia feel unfair to children who do everything right. They begin to harass, offend and humiliate in order to at least be on top in dominance. ( This used to be the case, now schools have psychologists who immediately see the signs of dyslexia, etc., quickly eradicating the insecurities of these children. So that they don't turn aggressive )This creates such a bad reputation that being smart is bad.
