A genius is not one who possesses outstanding ability or talent. Of course, having those is desirable, but talent alone amounts to naught more than just that.

What, then, makes a genius? It is one who can clearly see the differences between themselves and others. When comparing their abilities to each other, people become fixated on the idea that they are fundamentally equal. But alas, they are not

All people are different. What one can do may be impossible for another, and what another can accomplish may be beyond one's reach. A genius is one who understands that cruelty.

I am an almighty genius, but I would never dream of expecting others of being able to perform my duties. At the same time, I know that I cannot imitate any other, no matter how lacking in skill they may be.

Every man wants to believe that they are fully the equal to any other. After all, what a splendid thing that would be. What a warm, satisfying thing that would be.

If we could all understand each other, if we could share out values, if we could go forward hand in hand. That would be the makings of an ideal world, the sort that appears in dreams.

But reality is not so. We each have our roles, and we each have our weaknesses. Believing in others is important, but more important still is knowing that they are different from yourself. There is no need for grand displays. You should simply do what you are capable of.

I should do what I am capable of, that is all anyone can ever do.
