Would you prefer to be a sad genius or a joyful average person?

Do you know the myth of the apple of discord? Paris, the prince of Troy, had to decide which of the three goddesses should receive the desired apple. Each of them promised him something different in return: wisdom, power, or the most beautiful woman on Earth.

Although he chose the most beautiful woman (which led to the Trojan War), he considered accepting each gift in turn. Do you know why he rejected wisdom? Because the greatest sage he knew was also the saddest person in the world at that time.

Would that be a sufficient reason for you to reject the gift of wisdom?

The translation of the text is as follows: "The answer to this question is very personal and depends on individual preferences and priorities of each person. Some may prefer to be a sad genius because for them, wisdom and intellectual challenges are more important than emotional happiness. Others may prefer to be a happy average person because they believe that a fuller and more fulfilling life is one that is filled with joy and satisfaction."
