Genius is a lonely belief

No one has seen God, and God has committed his will to a few people who are called geniuses. When those incredible creations were finally revealed to the world, we saw the existence of God in the sufferings of geniuses and in the footprints of their trekking alone. Geniuses are often dull. God opened a window privately for them, facing himself, listening to himself, and interpreting the secret words between heaven and earth; but at the same time, he closed a door, separating them from the world and unable to communicate. So a person like Turing becomes a child who sees ghosts, knowing that they can't speak, suffering can't speak, so they have to hide in their hearts and become a kind of fateful loneliness. The greatest pain of geniuses is not the ridicule and persecution from the outside world. The big deal is closing their eyes and covering their ears. What they need can be as little as a pen and a little oxygen. On the long road, self-doubt caused by failure and waiting, the fear of persevering in the dark, cold surroundings, uncertain prospects, is the real enemy. Like a lost traveler in the wilderness, he finally found the cold and ancient star in the night sky. The stubbornness to truth and beauty, and the yearning for transcendence eventually became the belief of the Turings. He turned around by himself, crawling and praying until he met God on the way. The world loves geniuses, pitying them for being clumsy, stupid, sensitive, and overwhelmed, pulling a heart and sweating for them in front of the screen. But before the genius is confirmed by the world, what people are passionate about is to spit at them, throw stones, wear a crown of thorns...mutilate any life different from their own, destroy all thoughts that they cannot understand, and do their best to incarnate geniuses. Nine-nine-eighty-one difficulties on the way to learn from the scriptures. This is human beings. They try to be merciful, but they are often cruel.
