What's Painful

[Undertoad]

Nobody cares how smart you are, they care what you can do for them.

People don't like smart people. They are intimidated by them and ignore them, even when making important decisions.

The whole crux of the thing. Determines Who's going to die alone and who is not. Or at least have enough fricken money to buy cake at your funeral so alot of people show up and pretend to have cared.

I think that's too often true in business.

In relationships smart people seek out other smart people, because they find stupid people dreary to be around.

I just find deary people stupid to be around.


People just seek out like minds to be around. I mean dumb people seek out dumb people too ya know

There is intellect and then there is common sense, common sense being the ability to apply one's intellect to resolve a practical situation. Some people have both, some have more of one than the other, and some people have neither. Even those with neither may have family and friends who can largely make up the difference and assure them a meaningful quality of life. Count your blessings.
