Thinking aloud

[HehehehehehehehehehahaHyena]

As an intelligent person, do you ever get the feeling that the less intelligent people running around are having all the fun?
No need for any of you to answer, I'm just thinking aloud online.

That's a good appreciation, most of the cases you can find examples in real life.
Some time ago I knew an engineer executive that when he hired new personnel, he never chose the better for the position.
He preferred to choose one that wouldn't be a danger for him, preferably a mediocre that could never dispute him his dominance position.
Life is not fair.

If the less intelligent are having more fun, then every day must be a frikkin' carnival for you.

I thought aloud today. I instantly regretted it. This is a genuine conversation I had with my mate in McDonalds.

Me : "Do you ever catch yourself thinking about normal everyday things, things that other adults can do, and that you struggle to do? Things you really should be able to do, as an adult, but find yourself incapable, and wonder what's wrong with you?"

Him : "Isn't that meant to be a sign of depression?"

"I'm talking about coffee. When I get a coffee in a disposable cup with little sugar packets and a wooden stirrer, no matter how vigourously I get the coffee swirling around, and how long I stir or how vigourously, the sugar never mixes properly and I always end up with unsweetened coffee until I get to the very bottom. If I have one in Costa or wherever, even if it's a real cup, if I get one of those stupid wooden stirrers, same result.

And yet, if I make myself a coffee in a Travelodge or something and get given a REAL TEASPOON, and one of those little "half-cup" cups to ***** from, no matter how vigourously I stir the coffee.... again, it all sinks to the bottom. So, it's not even having the right spoon that's the issue, it's the cup too. The only way I can get the sugar to dissolve properly and not all sink to the bottom, is if I have both a FULL SIZE, proper cup, and a PROPER teaspoon. Now... is this maddening situation happening to the rest of the world, or is it just me?"

"........ not depression then. Umm.... I think that might just be you."

So... I guess the lesson I took from this exchange was, some thoughts should stay unexpressed.

You are not necessary wrong with this... This is pretty much how I see things too. Ignorance is bliss after all... The more stupid you are, less you care and happier you are... Person living simple life without knowing what happens around him is likely to be happier even doing smaller simple things. People used to be much happier in the past, with much less than people demand nowadays, not forgetting all TV **** feeding zombies.

The happiest people I've seen were "special" of their own kind or **** without worries. The more you know, the more you desire and the more you will demand (including all kind of useless materialist things) for happiness, which is likely to only bring you more unhappiness while you try to seek this. Very similar with people addicted and stalking each other in facebook and end up getting more depressed...

Thought very often when so called self-proclaimed more "intelligent" people cannot understand other people, thinking that they or their jokes are too dumb. Very likely it's actually otherway around and "intelligent" is just too stupid to realize the meaning of such a simple and meaningful things...
