Stupidity..*

...is pretty easy to come by. There's an example right in front of you – my trying to write about it. In my defence I'd like to say, arguing about the topic with the teacher wasn't an option. So, i might as well get on with writing about it. Because not writing would be...well, stupid more than anything else. Though I could use my being human as an excuse for acting stupid and not writing this. Because being human makes me as immune to stupidity as Windows is to viruses. I've noticed people worry more about the viruses than about their own stupidity. Seeing how important a part of life technology has become (seriously, imagine a day without updating your tweets!), it seems valid to worry about them more. It's stupid actually – being so dependent on technology – don't you think? And it's surprising how something can sound logical and stupid at the same time. Goes to show how versatile stupidity can be! It's like an eerie force that is constantly looking for ways to express itself. And humans seem to be soft targets too. The great Albert Einstein put it beautifully when he said that there were two things that were infinite – the universe and human stupidity and he wasn't too sure about the former. A seriously intelligent remark. But intelligence is the opposite of stupidity. So stupidity can actually pull intelligence to it's side. I leave you with that scary thought. Hail Stupidity.

(* ...err... just something I was given to write on.)
