Answer 6

There is a fine line between wisdom/genius and insanity.

You have to be prepared to explore all the possibilites even travel through insanity, if necessary, in the pursuit of wisdom.

Vincent Van Gogh suffered periods of 'insanity' whilst producing some of his best work.

It seems nothing comes without a price.

Answer 7

With every insight we choose to take on as a new fact, old wisdom can become new ignorance & often demands an enormous amount of reprioritizing of even our core beliefs.

I think a lot of our great thinkers throughout history were possibly mad from such torment, yes.

Some of our evil geniuses too.

Answer 8

madness has taken over......

....and i'm not even sure what wisdom is........

Answer 9

Truth brings peace, always.

It's the distortion of truth that causes disharmony.. It's your choice if you go crazy over it.

Answer 10

Not wisdom.  Knowledge.  When you have too many facts in your head, it can keep you from sleeping at night.  You can also stress yourself out by looking too far into the future and seeing where we are going.  

Wisdom is knowing where to stop stressing and recognizing what you can't do and what you can.

Answer 11

Aha, I wondered why I was tormented! ;)

Seriously, I wouldn't know -over the years I've become much older, but not much wiser.

Answer 12

Anything too much, torments us  and drives us crazy.

It is the same with s*x, especially absence of it!!!

Now, too much wisdom can torment a mind and blow the fuse!

Answer 13

...my mother used to tell me I was too smart for my own good...I think it was because I tormented her   :)

Answer 14

LOL!  That's a loaded question!

But Yes,  Too much Wisdom (self-proclaimed),  Torments not just self but (some) others too!   And that can lead to crazy things...

Answer 15

Wisdom is a gift,benign,soothing,healing,never torments.

It is the too much of information of relative knowledge

which is mistaken for wisdom that torments a petty

little mind.

Answer 16

True knowledge is in the mode of goodness and is enlightening. Craziness is of the mode of darkness or ignorance and therefore the two are opposites. True wisdom does not torment but gives one full knowledge of is to be done and what is not to be done. It is not wisdom which torments but indecision due to attachment and lack of true spiritual wisdom.

When there is an increase in ignorance, darkness, inertia, madness and illusion are manifested.When there is goodness or true wisdom one can see things in the right position, one can hear things in the right position, one can taste things in the right position, one thinks in the right way and understands things according to their rightful position. Real knowledge delivers one from madness and torment. The more knowledge one has, the clearer one sees everything as it actually is. Spiritual by nature. I'll leave it there. Take care.
