I hate geniuses. I hate scientists, mathematicians, chess champions, prodigious engineers, prodigious economists and other technical prodigies. Earlier when I hadn't met one (or thought that I hadn't) I guessed being in the company of a genius would be riveting, thrilling, exciting etc. Like watching 1978 movie ‘Don’, reading the entertaining excerpts of the novel 'One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich' (by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn), listening to great music etc. I had incorrectly thought that their presence is something worth looking forward to in life. But the reality really seems to be different. Now I know the feel of a company of a genius may be no better than workplace banality. I had presumed meeting a genius would be fun. But meeting with genius turned out to be an ordinary experience. It was not much pleasure.
You should probably end ur life now ...

Only three things give real pleasure – good sex, good sleep and nostalgia. Rest all are illusions.

Teri Aag Iss Khaakdaan Se Nahin
Jahan Tujh Se Hai, Tu Jahan Se Nahin

The fire that is you has not come out of this heap of dust.
You have not come out of this world; It has come out of you.
(this is not my translation, i copied it from where i got the couplet, there is a lost in translation problem here, but i hope you understand hindi and can read that roman urdu)
Geniuses have this false reputation. There is a misconception about aura of geniuses. I naively surmised standing near them gives wonderful sensations. I had expected that presence of genius creates surreal emotion. I was wrong.

If it was a ordinary experience why hate? why cant you just take him as meeting a ordinary person they dont fall from the sky its just all exploding in their minds some have trouble portraying it

Police Officers Shot at in US Town Where Black Teen's Death Triggered Protests

World | Agence France-Presse | Updated: September 28, 2014 14:24 IST

WASHINGTON: Two police officers were shot at and one wounded late Saturday near the flashpoint city of Ferguson, Missouri where the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teen triggered race riots and national outrage.

Saint Louis County Police Department spokesman Brian Schellman said a bullet struck one officer on foot patrol in his left arm around 9:10 pm Saturday (0410 GMT Sunday).

The suspect is on the loose.

The officer had been conducting a business check at the Ferguson Community Center when he noticed the male suspect and tried to ask him why he was there. The suspect then ran away.

"The officer initiated a foot pursuit of the subject. During the foot pursuit, the subject spun toward the officer armed with a handgun, and fired shots at the officer," Schellman said in a statement.

"The officer returned fire at the suspect, however there is no indication at this time that the suspect was struck by return gun fire from the officer."

A police search failed to turn up the suspect.

In neighboring St. Louis, an off-duty police officer was shot at by an unknown number of assailants while driving his own car on a highway shortly after midnight.

The officer, who sustained minor injuries from broken glass, did not return fire.

"It is unclear at this time if the officer was targeted or if this was a random act of violence," Schellman said.

Ferguson has seen large protests take place since Michael Brown, 18, was shot dead on August 9 by a white police officer.

The college-bound teen was shot at least six times by police officer Darren Wilson and his body was left in the street for several hours before it was removed.

Violence rocked Ferguson -- a St. Louis suburb of 21,000 with an African-American majority and an overwhelmingly white police department and town council -- prompting Missouri Governor Jay Nixon to briefly call in the National Guard to quell protests.

Some demonstrators complained that police used undue force against peaceful protests. The military-grade equipment of Ferguson's force also prompted nationwide discussion about whether police should be dressed for warzones while engaging with American civilians.
