genius
A genius is a being whose aura of divinity shines so brightly it exposes the dullness of everyone else. They dispense grand ideas with the arrogance of a deity, while conveniently ignoring practical constraints. Adored and alienated in equal measure, they trademark solitude as the inevitable byproduct of true creativity. Bound by the chains of their own brilliance, they teeter between triumph and ruin. Universally desired yet privately dreaded, the genius embodies the paradox of admiration and alienation.
