Not everybody is a genius like you.
In all seriousness though, one type of genius is one that IS able to conceive and understand abstract concepts much more easily than the average human being. Einstein and Mozart, for example. Clearly, the opposite of genius is possible in this regard. |
All concepts for all things are abstract in some degree, and unless you seriously have some sort of disability, you are more than capable of working through most of them. (Note this is the collective you, not you personally.)
I think your own reply was a function of fear and/or laziness. I say fear because one reaction the ego has when it approaches something that might be difficult is to come up with reasons why you will fail before you even attempt whatever it is so that you don't feel so much pain if you fail (procrastination works similarly). I say laziness for obvious reasons, although you certainly might not be.
