Rejects from another Planet
The start of every New Year equals to plenty of need-to-do's, want-to-do's, wishes and other resolutions we push upon ourselves in hopes to be normal. Other than the usual inconsequential and superficial clichéd bullets on the list that we all carry in our forgotten pocket, I pledge to start a crusade against stupid people. I know the consensus among people who use even a bit of their logic and common sense that stupid people simply know no better but I beg to differ.
Let get this clear, when I say stupid people, I don't mean people who are not educated (although the lack thereof contributes to the stupidity of stupid people) nor are "slow" in mental prowess. Stupid people come from all walks of life, cultures, backgrounds, religions and I.Q.'s. They are red, white, green, black and white; every freaking color of the rainbow. You could be dating a stupid person, related to one or more, working aside one on a major project or sitting next to one on your daily commute. Most people who are stupid don't even know they are which leads to their cases of stupidity being untreated. How do you know if you're stupid? Here's a quick questionnaire for you...
1. Do you live in a cold region and have lived there most of your life, but you complain to any and every one that it is really cold? (Bonus Stupidity Points: Do you wear a T-Shirt and shorts on those days that are especially cold?) (Super Bonus Stupidity Points: When you visit a warm region and any temperature over 50 degrees, do you complain it is too hot?)
2. Did you vote for Bush the second time because you actually thought he could fix what he broke? (Bonus Stupidity Points: Do you still believe there are WoMD in Iraq and one day soon we'll find them?) (Super Bonus Stupidity Points: Can you completely understand any Bush speech and provide closed captioning for those that don't?)
3. Are you an Animal Rights Activist that believes everyone should become a Vegan? (Bonus Stupidity Points: You can explain why animals have souls [and thus given the same rights as a human] and plants [which are also living] do not.) (Super Bonus Stupidity Points: You tried to talk a Shark into becoming a Vegan and then placed your head into its mouth.) (Maximum Super Bonus Stupidity Points: You are a member of PETA.)
If you answered any of those questions (and agreed to the sub assessments) with a yes, you are a stupid person and you should be treated right away. If you have answered yes to every question, I fear you are a Reject from another Planet and I hope your space ship is fixed soon. The fact is, as you read this blog post, you subject yourself to two group categories. These groups are The Open and The Closed, and you cannot be in both.
The Open are people that acknowledge what is but also question the limits we place on ourselves through all means. The Closed are people that not only acknowledge what is but place a firm belief in their acknowledgement and nothing can make them deter from that belief as fact. What's my point? You belong to one of these groups and before you say you belong to The Open or The Closed, think about every choice you have chosen that made an impact on your life as well as the lives of others. Did most of your choices help others gain an understanding of how life could be or did your choices simply force your beliefs into their minds? In other words, do you echo your beliefs on a daily basis to get people to believe what you consider true to be their fact OR do you help them find the path they can follow to make their own judgments on "fact"?
Stupid people will argue, fight and even kill if your beliefs are not the same as theirs. Some stupid people will forever be stupid and closed minded, that is their way and you have little chance of changing that. Most don't care that they walk blindfolded in a world filled with sharp edges, dangers or near a Shark that finally had a vegetarian dinner. The question is do you care?
