[...] people who I’m happy to share their content and are really nice people include Jay, Chris and Karen. It would be hard for me to help them if they just wrote generic blogs or didn’t do anything [...]

Decades ago Will Rogers said, “We’re all ignorant…just on different subjects!” To top it all off, we often become so focused on one thing we forget we are doing another. That is one of the main reasons cell phones finally replaced alcohol as the leading cause of fatal auto accidents: texting while driving!!! I’ve done so many stupid things I sometimes refer to myself as “A professional bad example”. If you’ve never done anything stupid, chances are you haven’t done much of anything at all. Thanks for introducing me to Joe Rogan’s blog. I’ve always liked his attitude. Dailymotion too, despite letting the site suck up 4 or 5 hours of my day!
As much as I usually agree with you, I can not believe we are all equally stupid … only because I’ve run into too many people who have no desire to accept their ignorance or will to reduce it! While it’s true we all start with equal ignorance, it’s the people who refuse to realize we all have our faults who come to believe they have none themselves. Thanks for the reminder; I don’t really need to be told how ignorant I am … I discover new depths of my ignorance almost daily!
Keep up the good work.

I’ve done a lot of stupid things in my life but the most stupid is not accepting my mistakes. It took me time to realize that I’m the one who suffers from this stupid belief.

Oftentimes, I laugh at myself for being ignorant and highly gullible. Are we not?

LOL! This is really funny, though not very nice. And I like your matter-of-fact way of telling what happened. It makes it all the more funny.

Cheers~

I agree with John Duffield and I appreciate the message you try to send through your post Karen

Yes just like John said, we are all worth of equal value – roughly about 4-5 dollars

Anyways, that just is me saying that we are all human beings with desires and fears. When we see a sad movie, we will all feel sadness, when we see a comedy we will all likely want to smile and laugh.

And once in a while, no matter how brilliant and aware we might be, we have our “human moments”. Human beings are imperfect, and that is exactly what makes us human beings.

I wish that everybody on Earth would realize that human beings are basically biological clones of each other, and that the only thing that makes us separate from each other is the thing that is sitting on our necks.

The only thing that is going to keep this world from advancing is our inability to focus on our similarities as a human race. And just as you mentioned in your post, we do stupid things, just like human beings, we do stupid things like stereotype.

Its a paradox kind of, human beings are imperfect, however, it is because of our imperfections that separate ourselves as a race. So does that mean being human is naturally being stupid and isolated from our differences?

Anyways, sorry fro getting off track here, I really enjoyed your post. I hope you will write more posts about your life that could send insightful messages about human beings

Hi Karen. So true. Everyone should look closely at your post. We all do equally dumb things. If I may, I’d like put a different spin on your truth. Here it is. When a really bright guy like your doctor friend does something witless, we may get a small glimpse of the full truth. The full truth is….each of us also has equal Human worth, however smart or handicapped we may be. Whether we’re doing crazy things or achieving earth-shaking goals, each of us cannot be worth less than anyone else. Most people don’t really believe this of course. But that’s only because they’re looking at the world the wrong way. If we changed the way we see things, Kings and paupers and professors and paperboys would all realize the heart, soul, or Spirit within them was worth the same. Ciao Karen. John Duffield

“Stupidity” is just a label, as is everything in life. What makes one man “smart” so to speak means absolutely nothing to another man.

I think the more we make mistakes, the more luck we get.

Thanks for the great post!

As humans we’re all fallible which makes life interesting!
This is the reason I’m a strong believer in humility. We all make mistakes but through humility, we can continue on our path to a better self.
On a side note, if we’re not making any mistakes, does that mean we’re not pushing our boundaries?

Hey Karen, I’m loving these stories you’ve gotten everyone to tell! And, I’ve been enjoying what I’ve been discovering here at Dreamin’ the Life!

I meant to mention that I wrote a post a few weeks ago about how “we’re all just bozos”, http://bit.ly/1G5KEJ along the same thought lines, to celebrate and embrace our inherent, human, “stupidity”… Would love your thoughts!

Cheers,
Miche

ok…here’s what I think. I think that we ARE all equal in our stupidity…BUT we have a mental choice to choose better…

mistakes like the gas hose is NOT because he had a stupid moment…it’s because he was not present in that moment…he was somewhere else…THAT can happen to any of us…smart or not.

We are not immune to these moments…
