As my daily quest for knowledge continues, so does my total lack of tolerance to stupidity. We live in a world where stupidity is tolerated but also where knowledge is at your fingertips...this being so, I have my low threshold for the inane for the simple fact that it should not be possible to be this idiotic! It's those people (you know who you are) who make no effort that are the cause of my frustration.
Worse yet however, and by a mile, is laziness. I have a streak of it myself. Everyone does but everyone doesn't practice laziness like they are attempting to make the US Olympic Laziness Team. Most of us are selective in our laziness. Sundays, the middle of a bad week so vacuuming is out, that kind of thing. But I know people for whom laziness is the norm broken up by small bits of achievement...very small bits. And largely incomplete accomplishments...like a demi-triumph.
It's a rarity to come across someone who excels at both but I have managed to find such a person. I feel like I am witness to a great phenomenon...A new world wonder!
Why is it these people seem to have no clue?
I feel like at home it's easier to find some lazy time. I don't know how to pull off full-on absurd but I admit I have taken a whack at it a time or two. But at work, the place they pay you money to be both productive and bright, you should in fact make every effort to be at least one of those things daily.
But alas, no.
If you really think about it, there could be found a brilliant argument for pulling it off everyday. It's hard accomplishing nothing while convincing most everyone there is no real hope for a rise in the bell curve. I mean, they are pretty creative at spending entire days for entire weeks of entire months making themselves look busy...maybe they are really the intelligent ones....
Something to think about.
Later...
