It’s certainly been observed: “With much wisdom comes much sorrow”. Regarding the abyss and reality (I’m taking liberties): - “I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do.” - “I myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me” What you do when “enlightened” is personal, but I don’t think everyone is prepared to handle it in a healthy fashion. Curiosity and discovery, even when reality is difficult? Or fall into despair?
