People Who Proclaim "I AM Smart"

I think calling yourself smart, is the same as calling yourself an idiot. Both cloud your mind and you cannot accept a lot of things because you are so worried about how others see you. I must admit, i have called myself both at some moment in my life. For the longest time i thought i was an idiot. So i wasted my first two years of high school doing drugs. As soon as i started going again, i realized that i was in fact, a literary genius, and so in tune with psychology!. This fogged my brain just as the drugs did, because i became overly confidant and thought i was to good for people my own age. I became very lonely because i wanted to keep my "smartness" to myself. Eventually, i learned the art of balance, and acceptance. From moment to moment, i could either have an aversion to my intellectual state, or an attraction; balance is where i am most happy. You know the saying that geniuses are mentally ill? I think it comes from being so constricted from the boundaries they put on themselves. That the only way they must think is deeply, and no where else. Its healthy to think in all ways, and this is achieved by accepting ignorance is a beautiful thing, and not something that is shameful.

Yes and no. Telling a fool he's a fool is a fool's task. Reducing my post to the motives you describe makes me seem more Machiavellian than simple, or idiotic. I would have ended my critique with the word "*******."



When reading a post, one can stop and move on with no bad feelings being created, unlike personal contact.



Transference, and especially transfering the fearfull and destructive perceptions that exist in one's inner world onto the outside world is an aspect of humans that has very real, socially undesirable results in the common world we inhabit. One should be aware of this even if one's desire is to spread their inner demons around to others.



I am, admittedly, an idiot and am doomed to stay that way... as an *******, though, you can change. Then again, if everyone were nice and reasonable there would be a whole lot less to entertain us.

So instead of saying you are smart, you come on here and talk about um, somebutnotall, and hope that it makes you sound smart. That way you can post in the I am Smart section, crap on anyone who says they are smart, yet you hope to still appear smart yourself.



Idiot.
