Smart versus stupid.


The smartest people in the world. May well be those with no qualms over who wins or loses.  A baseball game. A political skirmish. A test of wills. Anything. Instead, they just let be whatever will be.  Knowing that as individuals, they  have virtually no influence over the great decisions affecting  the course of human history. Stuff happens. Like it or not. So just let it happen. And get on with life. The best one can. Without really caring about winners and losers.  Just pray. That you’re on the winning side. Best one can do. Is go to bed at night. With peace of mind. With the thought that you might be. The smartest, most-well-adjusted person in the world. By not caring too much. Unfortunately, I’m a dummy, an ignoramus, an idiot. All rolled into one.  Because I give a darn. And have occasional sleepless nights. Same goes for most of my stupid friends. --Jim Broede
