SHAKING MY HEAD TO YOU SENPAI

I wouldn't go as far as to make this statement BUT....

I would recommend anybody to read Plato. His Dialogues from Theaetetus to The Republic have made me a somewhat happier man.

My geometry is really bad and I am starting from the ground up. I am heavily interested on learning differential geometry and all that stuff, but what would be a good path for me?

My plan was:

Kiselevs - Planimetry (for basic geometry)
Hartshorne - Geometry: euclid and beyond

Then what?

Well it implies many things. The first ones that comes to my mind (from experience) are insecurity, ego and arrogance.

Perhaps we could associate more vices to this particular feeling you mention (not being able to ''deal'' with these facts), but lets just assume these are enough.

So its not about ''dealing'' with these facts but actually getting rid of the vices that provoke this reaction in you. And that's an entirely different thing, because to each man they could be caused by a myriad of different things in their lives.

If this assumption is correct and these feelings you speak of are causing problems in your soul (think of this whatever you want) such as contradiction, or instability, you should reevaluate things, look into these symptoms and do some personal growth.

And if that is the case, perhaps put aside the number crunching, the studying and look into philosophy. Read the works of those who analyzed these sort of things (read Plato).
