2005-06-01 05:33:41 ET Admidst the mind numbing work, a conversation about stupidity arose. The theory questioned: Stupidity is based on our self intrested goal of obtaining "happiness". What was argued about was that an egocentric goal such as the elusive happiness results in the 'head up the ass' sort of view on life where one doesn't care, think about, or put any effort toward anything that does not resault in percieved personal happiness. This resaults in people who respond or act in ways that would earn them the title of being stupid. This is the person who cut you off on the freeway, who does not take any time to know truths about issues before mouthing off opinions, or who simply blunders about the day doing however they see fit not noticing if this is effecting anyone else. I have to go to work... But I am courious what people think. |
