The Advantages of Stupidity
The Advantages of StupidityAdmittedly, stupidity has certain disadvantages. Life isn't
a bowl of cherries. And being stupid doesn't make it any
fruitier. Being stupid can annoy even the most sensitive
people. If one acts stupid, and does it in the wrong crowd,
like a group of adults, it will seem more immature than
funny. If one is forced to act stupid while dealing with
lower life forms, for example, high school teachers, one may
encounter barriers such as cruelty and insensitivity, with
the utterance of statements like, "Think with your head
straight!" or, "You have a brain, use it." Yet these are
all true, there are still many advantages to stupidity.
The first advantage is very easy to understand. Stupid
people are never asked to do a lot. Many have noticed that
people tend to steer away from someone they feel may be
stupid. This is for a very good reason. The stupidity
which they posses makes a name for themselves, a name which
can be very difficult to shake. Possibly, it is a word
which describes the working habits of the person, such as
"crappy". Yet, this creates a positive situation for the
stupid person. They will have a lot of free time on their
hands for more of lifes truly meaningful pleasures. Some of
these activities are combing facial hair, and counting the
pixels on a Sony TV. Now, there has been a rumour going
around that suggests that stupid people have low
expectations. This is true. They are so stupid that they
don't realize great from O.K. They could have a Sanyo
cordless phone, but would probably choose instead a Pierre
Cardin alarm clock telephone, because it comes free with
their sensamatic folding bed. And someone with the
"advantage" of stupidity might have a hard time doing
certain tasks, or setting things up. Yet this isn't all
bad. For example, if a stupid person leaves the chore, and
comes back to it later, no one will be able to understand
it. Would they get fired from their job? No. For the very
simple reason that no one would understand their work except
for them. The job would have to be given back to the stupid
person, perhaps with a higher salary, or someone would do it
for them, leaving them with even more free time!
Free time is great for brainstorming (Admittedly this seems
to be a bad choice of words!). Yet the ideas stupid people...
