I sometimes to envy such children.. The brilliant mind they possess..

XD in a way it's true. Talented/popular/famous kids didn't really have a good childhood (As far as the ones I know).
Michael Jackson didn't have a good childhood.
Lindsay Lohan are rather affected so much so she's sort of distorted now @_@
Even the math prodigy in our country (what's her name again..?) is....
oh well.. :/

Of which the parents themselves must be smart no?
Which I ponder as well, could these gifted children inherited some genius genes from their parents?

XD
Well once heard the saying, 'The most powerful warrior is a lonely man'
Or something along that line..

Care to share?
Society has a nasty way of dealing with those of whom they deemed as abnormal.
IMHO, I've always believe that is the reason democracy garnered significantly more preference by the people.

The majority is normal. When there exists a minority of which they deem
1. abnormal
2. threatens their social position
they'll respond rather negatively to them. E.g. if a person is a homosexual, nasty remarks are made (Back then when homosexuality is still a new 'thing').

In this particular case, an indigo child outshines the other normal kids, in terms of brain matter and talent. Feeling left behind, one of the ways to 'get back' at these child is to isolate them.
A negative mindset is 'That person is so much smarter than me. I feel inferior. We just can't communicate'
A positive one, however is 'That person is brilliant. I should mix more with him so I can somehow make an effort to be on par, if not, improve myself.'

Sadly, the negative mindset is always much easier to practice ><

A case of making oneself better because one's achievement is lower than the other?

But in this case, the gap of achievement is just too.. big no?
Hence we give them a label
