Why do I always get all the stupid questions?
I have to keep explaining to people that I don’t know what someone else was thinking when they made this decision or that decision that does not seem to make any sense. How in hell would I know what someone else was thinking? Do they think I have a secret mirror that looks into people’s brains that I have not told myself about? They should ask the person that is actually involved with that decision making process and leave me the hell out of it!
I usually respond to a stupid question with this line; “I don’t know, but perhaps you can answer something for me; why would God put a wet runny think like your nose right over your mouth?”
They seldom get it. Sarcasm and irony are wasted on most people.
I am always surprised at the lack of thought that goes into everyday life. In the new day and age, people seem to think that they should be handed the answers to everything and that thinking is too hard. If you give someone a problem to solve, they will ask you to give them the solution before you are finished describing the problem.
I just don’t get it.
Have we become so lazy as a society that even something as inactive as thinking is too hard? Has the age of instant gratification made thinking too difficult? Has TV ruined our brains and turned them into semi functioning jello-like substance that barely succeeds in keeping our skulls full of something?
“The conclusion is where you got tired of thinking” seems to sum up how we look at problems. This is usually occurs right after we begin and before we actually do something.
I used to think that schools were supposed to teach these things, but learned that they do not and have no intention to. It’s too hard.
“You can lead a child to knowledge, but you can’t make him think.”
