Emotional Intelligence: A blessing or a curse?

As for what you're asking about—that thing called "emotional intelligence"—it is a bit like the Mormons in the USA:
Americans are so frustrated by the fact that they don't have an indigenous religion that they had to go ahead and invent one.
It's the same with foolish people. They want to be intelligent too. Various managers, scammers, bar owners... they all possess a very low form of intelligence known as PEASANT CUNNING.
Well, in modern times, with these trends where everyone wants to feel special—even though most people can't move an inch away from their herd—they invented the concept of EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE and stuffed their own CUNNING into it.
Basically, they pitted it against actual INTELLIGENCE and started claiming it is vaznij. So, the EQ of some dart player in a pub, or someone like Franc Ozbolt or Cinober, is supposedly more important than the IQ of Albert Einstein.
And I guess it will stay that way as long as American managers keep writing their life essays instead of focusing on what they actually know how to do: stealing.
hahahaha... I am totally with you on this one. 🤣🤣
As for the actual topic, I both empathize and don't. In my view, a person really ought to handle their own business. Forget about everyone else; we're all just here for ourselves. If you happen to be an altruist—or if you're just playing the part—fine, it might make things better for others, but actually expecting help from them? There's no point. They either won't show up, or they'll do a half-assed job of it. So, my rule is simple: give to others, but don't go looking for handouts.
And honestly, the less you expect from life, the happier you'll be... just my two cents, anyway...
