I'm going to stop reading books about politics, discussing religion, and getting into deep issues for a week and see how much more enjoyable life gets : )

  1. yes ignorance is wonderful.I am a convert after years of useless studying...filling my brain with facts. Politics etc is not deep,there are far deeper things in life than politics,let the world run mad if it must.

    I would advise you to deal with life directly,the direct touch instead of through books.


  2. No, I do not think that at all, yes, sometimes when you feel like the whole World is against you and there is no way out, is when things get heavy to support, but bear in mind that the reason God gave us a Brain was to think and analyze any situation we might encounter, so I would say that I am glad God gave me a Brain to think what to do in any dire situation.

  3. Ignorance is bliss.  (someone already said that--sorry).

  4. Not exactly 'stupid' but let's just say 'simple'.

  5. you will have more fun, as those things are boring. ignoring the effects of the economy will leave you broke though.

  6. Yes but you would be sooooooo bored.  Try mixing with stupid people and do what they do - you will soon shoot back to your deep issues.

  7. Yes I feel that sometimes. Info overload I guess. Perhaps we should all go on an information diet. (Strictly control, as much as we are able, the quantity and quality of the information we are exposed to and absorb.)

  8. Life is difficult. This is a capitalist statement.

    Life is easier and happier.

  9. h***s no. Would I have an easier life if I read Heat/Look/whatever BS celeb magazine was in vogue, watched Big Brother and cared about nothing but myself? I think I'd want to be dead!

  10. Sure 'ignorance is bliss'.

    Without so much knowledge perhaps the human race would be able to live more peacefully. Sure we are very intelligent creatures, but have we evolved so much that we can't even handle ourselves anymore? Perhaps we need to take a step back, not into stupidity, but into simplicity.

  11. I would have to say no.

    I understand where you are coming form.

    You feel that life would be easier if you were a sheep like everyone else because you observe the sheep getting along with other sheep so well and happily.

    The truth is, sheep under go a lot of pain. They are only respected amongst the bottom of the barrel in a phony  hypocritical way.

    They compete by eating the most grass. It doesn’t matter what the danger the cost nothing matters but the grass.

    The sheep I work with gloat how bad their job was when they first started. They bring it up when you have a bad day to inspire you to shut up and take it like a man. Doing this causes things to never improve because no matter how bad you have it, they had it worse and your problem should be ignored rather then addressed.

    Mean time I work 3 to 4 times hared then they currently do and the easily corrected problems I face are a none issue. All so they can justify not pulling their weight.

    Then they turn around and back stab the heck out each other trying to make it look like each one is the best of the best. They do this by convincing each other  that they have the best married life when the other is getting a diverse.  The best single life when the other is getting married. Around and around it goes.  They apply this to every interaction and instance. Your up they are higher your down they are lower or higher then ever before whichever will damage your self-esteem more.

    They are all a bunch of frauds trying to full you into living life in the crapper. They are the ones trapped in the crapper and need corpses to stand on so they don’t have to treed  poo water to keep their head above raw sewage.

    Being smart allows you to pretend to be one of them and beat them at their own game. The key is to not care if they accept you and that is what tricks them into being intimidated. Because they are sheep they will be intimidated and not know it. They will just watch their “A’s” around you and treed lightly. Not mess with you.

    That’s what I want form them.

    Life can be what you want, you need to read a physiology article or watch Dr. Phil for a while and you will learn a quite a bit just form observation alone.

    Be yourself around those who can handle it and won't use it against you.

  12. But easy street is a dead end.  I've been walking around with this stupid dopey look for years, and it doesn't get any easier chasing cats

    That's a good idea though.   Drop everything that feeds your intellect and just live from your own seeing and understanding.  Watch how sweet and simple it all gets.  Living by the Light rather than our own intellect is the way to go.  

    Mary Baker Eddy of Christian Science opens her classic book with "Today, for those leaning on the Infinite, life is full of blessings" [paraphrased]

  13. You don't become stupid that way. You just remove yourself from media manipulation. While you are doing that, check your music choices and only listen to peces that help organize your mind and affect you in pleasant ways.

  14. Aaaaahhhh-wise one you have enlightened me. Stupid people are the ones who don't read books on politics, discuss religion and don't 'get into deep issues'. And it seems that the other intellectual masters who answer your Q  concur. You LONG suffering few, alas it would be wise to be STOOPID rather than super duper HIGHLY intelligent old you. Then you'd only have to contend with complete b******s like the old you who judges THEM to be stupid. Because they don't read crappin politics or discuss religion. STOP. LOOK IN THE MIRROR. YOU ARE ALREADY THERE. SO, IS YOUR LIFE MORE FUN? HAS IT BEEN A HOOT? YOU COULDN'T SOUND MORE STUPID IF YOU TRIED.

  15. You'd be happier in some ways..

    There would be so many more people to talk to, because they are now on your level.

    And because stupid people are simple, more things would brighten your day.

    But I don't think I would be happier.

    I hate stupid people.

    ha.

  16. sometimes it would feel better not knowing stuff like that

  17. Sure! Look at kids. They don't know everything yet (though some think they do) and their lives are pretty great. They don't know that the world isn't always sunshine and roses and yet they get up with a new out look everyday and a sunny disposition. I think it is worth a shot! I would love to go without the politics, religion or intellectual debates for a week and then I could sit around and read a trashy novel or something instead of keeping up with the world.

  18. You'll always find something to worry or be bothered about.  It's who you are.  You'll trade one thing for the next.  Just take the good with the bad and make the most out of it.  Stay positive.  Think cliche`!  lol

  19. There is alot more to life then politics and religion. Just remember the more you try to figure either one out the more complicated it becomes. So enjoy life and read true story books they are more interesting being it is not make believe. Good luck hope you see how much more enjoyable life can be without the bull!

  20. If you were extremely stupid, you could draw a check...That would be sweet.

  21. NIIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

  22. Life would not be easier, but I would have substantially more in common with my fellow man.

  23. People sometimes think:

    Life would be easier if you were stupid.

    or

    Ignorance is bliss.

    This is impression is wrong. The stronger ones' intellect the freer s/he is.

  24. You'll probably get bored.

    It seems to me at least in some cases that stupid people are less conflicted than intellectuals, can't see the many options that are available and so aren't confused by this, I know many retarded people who seem to be completely happy. Fortunately, these people have never been abused and trust people. They have very limited horizons, which is fortunate, because they lack the ability to be persistent enough to pursue dreams.

    Then again, intellectuals find life to be much more interesting.

  25. at some point, yes.but stupid is not the proper term i guess, innocent is.

  26. i guess it depends on what is stupid and a waste of time!

    I think if you stop focusing so much on the most talked about topics that hold the most highest ratings of opinions you would!

    i stopped checking the news because it's sad!

    life is what you make of it!

    so if you want to be stupid and not use your brain!  then so be it!  but iw ould just direct it to more of the simple things in life and there isn't anything stupid about that1

  27. maybe, but if you are intelligent then you should make the most of it. i bet a lot of stupid people think theor lives would be easier if they were intelligent (: x

  28. Yes I feel like this a lot.  Less people would be put off by me, I'd find it easier to make people understand me, and I'd probably have a lot more fun.  Maybe I'd have an easier and better paid job.

    But I'm intellectual and there's nothing I can do about it.  I feel the same as you. (Not all the time.  It's not really like this, I think.)

  29. There's a reason for the old saying that ignorance is bliss.

  30. why r u going to stop being who u r, u shouldnt care about what other people think, start hanging around people who enjoy the same intrests as u do

  31. Well I've been stupid for years and it's really not that much easier!  *lol*

    I must admit I enjoy and good chinwag about topical issues.  It's interesting and I enjoy hearing other people's point of view.
