I dislike people who think they are smart and run others down for being not as smart as they. Naturally I developed this distaste because it hate myself. I think I am smart but was told over and over I'm stupid so now intellect is very sacred to me. I am smart but was made to feel stupid so I have an unconscious need to run others down. Biden is just like me so naturally I hate him.
Also, there is nothing that galls geniuses like me more than to see some stupid moron like Bush succeed so well at being a fool. I have to invent a thousand excuses for how that state of affairs came to be. It's not what you know but who you blow, etc etc etc. I guess dumb people like Bush already figured that out and I just have too much false pride to be dumb and a winner.
But regardless, nobody should be calling others dumb. We are all total nobodies, or created in the image of God. Either way, it's ego that wants to label others in a way that creates personal advantage. It's not something done by people who love.
Oh, that's important because without love life is meaningless.
Are you on shrooms or something? That was an interesting post, but I am having trouble pulling the strings of it together to find the point.
The point, my dear friend, is always what you can take from it. I think that if you know yourself and why you do things, the real painful reasons why you do thinking, not the self serving reasons provided by rationalization, you will know why others do things. You will see, among other things, I believe, that what you dislike about others is what you dislike about yourself and hide from. I would suggest that when you really do get to see who you really are and how ridiculous you are too you will cease to be bothered by how others are too. Hate for others, whether it's because they are stupid or whether they are stupid stupid haters all comes back to not liking oneself in ways we hide from ourselves. Once you see that it's really hard to take your emotions seriously. I may dislike Bush because he's stupid, or Biden because he's an arrogant prick who thinks he's superior to others, but in either case it's because I hate that in myself that is like these two folk.
