You shouldn't call yourself stupid

But you shouldn't call yourself stupid, ok? The book I'm reading, called "How to make yourself happy: and remarkably less disturbable", says there are no stupid people, only stupid things. So you aren't stupid for burning your arm, you just did a stupid thing. It's not your fault, per se, because people will always do stupid things from time to time. So take heart, you're just like everyone else in that respect! Take care, Brenda "I'll rock the darn boat all I want to, and if it's meant to stay afloat, then it will. If not, then we'll just all go down with the bloody ship!"

Klutzy stupid. Momentary stupid. Country hick stupid. Should-not-reproduce stupid. Voter stupid. Computer stupid. Electronics stupid. ... And finally Forrest Gump stupid. Damn I hated that movie. lister

However, I choose to embrace the concept that no one is wholly stupid, every human being is good at something or another.

Post #233,111 by Nightowl 11/8/05 11:12:45 PM Reply	Already have I choose to believe that I'm not wholly bad or wholly good, that I'm not wholly smart or wholly stupid. This is what I need to believe right now to be okay, and I choose to believe it about everyone. Every person has some good qualities, including me.
