I thought about this recently, then felt bad
I constanrly think about the numbers of people going through things everywhere in the world, and it is very tiring, but one day i read about how the more high one's IQ is, the more empathy they might feel, which technically means that highly-intelligent people process emotions more deeply than less intelligent. But, then i was like :"if the intensity of sadness correlateq with the intensity of emotions-peocessing(intelligence put aside, because the intensity doesn't always means the intelligence level) ... Then that's why i see posts where people say they have been abuses, lost their parents and siblings, yet still feel like they could continue living ?(although with a therapist most of the time) But if i lived all of this, i wouldn't be able to bear it ! What if...they don't really feel as intensiy as it looks like which would mean they are technically not that sad , and maybe it's for the same reason as some people react loudly and tell and burst of laughing for something as small as a fly ? What if it was a lot of noise for a little feelings ? What if... That means they can figure it out themselves and be happy ?!?! Yes !" I felt so happy about the thought that it maybe isn't that deep, that these people don't feel intensly to the point they suffer a lot, and that since empaths and high-IQ people are a minority, there wouldn't a lot of people suffering... Zero technically, since they wouldn't worry about the rest who isn't actually sad. But that thought didn't last, when i remembered that some chimpanzees can stop eating when their relative die, while having an IQ of 25. So imagine humans in the 100s. People just have different ways to express their feelings, although i think that there is indeed a difference between idividuals when it comes to emotions-peocessing and yes some individuals are still alive because they feel less intensively. What are your opinions on this ?
