The beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as one say. I perceive that there are plenty of different axes to look at things. But I refuse not to see the broken vase as a whole, no matter how beautifully you frame the shiny pieces.
Most people have been broken one way or an other. Some even celebrate it ; I find it quite sad and would rather avoid it, but who am I to know ?
I used to have things I didn't get at all like music, until the day it clicked. Even though I won't ever reach the level of masters in the art, I have enough to find it interesting. But more importantly that was an enlightening and humbling experiment that there are things you don't get until you do.
I enjoy the state of mind model, where to learn a new thing you try to search the state of mind where this thing comes naturally.
Once you get the right state of mind some things become easy , and some other things harder, but communication with a person in the same state of mind flows easily.
Often meeting different people and understanding how they deal with things can help acquire a new state of mind.
>How would you feel being judged as several levels below me?
As an aspie that as been judged stupider than I am most of my life, I have grown past it.
There are usually interesting experiences I can pick with anyone, although the ratio effort/reward depends a lot on our relative paths. I get that life sometimes put you in shitty situations and I don't judge people. As much as I enjoy the occasional serendipity that the chaos of life can bring, I enjoy creating my own path more.
