This is all so true!

Happiness is a state of mind. It’s also fleeting. Especially if that happiness requires an external stimulation like material things or is dependent on the approval/disapproval of other people. I would choose contentment over “happiness”. The quote, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference” is a good attitude to have. It helps remove much of the psychological baggage we carry around that is a hindrance to our emotional well-being and “happiness”.

You’re rite

It makes sense at some point but I guess stupid people are sometimes followed by the intelligent one’s as well. You know why here is a scenario where secondary school kids probably in a boarding school just want to be rude and cause damages in the school maybe for a very petty issue. In this case you will find the intelligent kids trying to come up with some smart way to get the problem fixed by seeking attention from the administration, but before they execute their plan some stupid student as you call them comes up with a plan that they should strike, and viola! Everyone agrees to this stupid idea. The stupid guy will get everyone involved regardless of whether they are stupid or intelligent. To them they think mmmhhh this is a brilliant idea and they go on with it, and guess what their plight is heard and things change. So in this kind of scenario can we still call the student stupid? I guess stupidity sometimes plays a special role in our lives don’t you think so? I think sometimes it’s necessary because it can save us from certain situations.

I feel your pain. Mis-education is a way to keep people down.
