Have you ever wondered about the price of seeing too much? Some call it intelligence, but it costs way more than that. You sense what will happen before it happens, what will be said before it's said. You perceive an extra layer most never notice. Over time, everything grows predictable, even hollow-like watching a movie where the actors don't know they're acting. You remember when joy was effortless, before every moment came with commentary only you can hear. You see the same world as others, yet move through it differently. And the worst part is that you can't explain this to anyone without sounding distant, superior, the kind of "I see more than you." So you stay quiet. Yes, the price is high, but it isn't a punishment. It's that you were given a chance to understand the already given meaning of life more in depth.
