Feeling: Amused rofl
Listening to: Danny Kaye - Civilization
Conflict between two or more people can occur at any given slight. Sometimes this slight is complicated, and everyone is at fault. This is how many people would like to see it.
In some cases, though, one person is being extremely stupid. All it takes is one. And that's just the way it is.
Stupid is an ugly word. It really is. People get angrier at being called stupid than they do at being called assholes. If the world had a self-destruct button, it would be labelled as "Stupid". I'm sure Douglas Adams would agree.
No word has hurt more feelings and caused more grudges than "stupid".
But sometimes stupid is just a fact of life. People can be stupid. There is no better word for extremely dumb-illogical-no-possible-reasonable-explanation-for behavior. And regrettably, some people wear "stupid" as a badge of honor. But for most of us, this word is a bowel-full of gut-wrenching affront.
But let's be fair about this.
Because stupid is as stupid does, and if it doesn't do so already, someday it's going to dominate the world.
