I think the smartest people are those that are aware of how stupid we really are. How little we truly know. Knowing this is the kind of wisdom that most will never truly possess (including myself). Happiness is all about being stupid (voluntary or not). Becoming stupid again. Even for the wisest and smartest. Happiness is dumbing down. Not knowing anything. Enjoying things as they are, not as we know them to be. Happiness is being in the moment. It can only take place here and now. That’s why I am usually not happy. I’m generally miserable. But in a deep & beautiful kind of way. I am too smart. But the kind of smart that is arrogant and… foolish. It’s the kind of smart that breeds a 10,000 year old society that destroys its own habitat. It’s the kind of smart that is the highest form of stupidity there is.
