Apparently someone said " There is a limit to genius..but not to stupidity"..A lot of people use this as a punchline when they want to bitch about someone who is stupid while making allusions /abstractions that might possibly deceive any wayward trolling man on facebook who probably doesnt even care about what this man is posting anyway.Besides the meaningless latter half of the previous sentence, the point that i am trying to make is that " We like to think that people might be stupid, or for instance , stupidity exists". Stupidity being a very subjective word , is mostly the most beaten up word in terms of being squeezed and hammered into every place that has a context or place for an appropriate superlative that often eludes the human brain.Sometimes ,the superlative might be " misunderstood " , "different","out of context","lost","confused" ,"please refer to the english dictionary for more words if you are expecting more". Ok.Coming back.Next para.
Yes , stupidity is often a very loosely used word.Most people in this world are not stupid.They probably dont care enough to be smart.Look at me.I am stupid.To someone doing a Phd, i am totally dumb.To someone doing a law degree, i am someone who cannot tell the difference between Obamas health insurance laws and private health insurance laws.. " Duh that engineering degree holder..wat a waste huh?"..Even to my peers, i am that guy who might not be able to cook anything more than a decent sambhar (indian food). I do not know a lot of things that you think that I AM SUPPOSED TO KNOW.I am not defending a case here by the way. Its just that i know that talking about myself will not be landing someone else in a bigger soup.Just seemed to be a lot easier to beat myself up rather than someone who could have been a use-case (loose-case..).
So kids,adults,smart gentlemen,ladies and all other kind of public who can read .. don't judge someone by the scale that you use to measure your intelligence.Sometimes it just doesn't fit.Treat people well.Treat them nicely.If you like them, treat them better.If you dont ,just stay away from them.You are helping more than you think.If its hard , tell them that you love them , though u despise a lot of things about them (this usually doesnt happen..unless the person is irresistibly sexy.)
PS : I dont think einstein ever used that quote to talk about stupid people.He was either pissed off with someone, or was talking bout himself ( after he regretted using the GOD constant may be ) ..who knows ?
