Many words have been spilt about the thin line between gift and curse. Unquenchable passion may drive you forward—even when you ought to halt. Wide renown will open paths closed to those who live private lives—but privacy itself will always be locked away. Profound empathy might unveil the heart of a stranger—or create a trust easily manipulated. Oh yes, oh yes. What wisdom could be greater than identifying these? Simple, of course: The acuity to acuity to recognize when a curse is that and nothing more.
