Default The Burden of Intellect

Those of us cursed with the ability of logical thought are bound by the laws of reason and rationality. The others blessed with ignorance and a clouded mind can pass through these obstacles without difficulty. The end is all they can see; they'll go straight to it by whatever means, not having to yielding to any sort of sense or order.

We unfortunates must travel the maze of argument to reach our points. Others are able to walk ahead using fallacy upon fallacy while we attempt to clean up their messes. But it is impossible to keep up. While we are picking up after them, they are already on something else that we'll have to clean up after they're done depositing. After each clean up we try to get back on track toward our goal, but the next pile to clean takes us (without the ability to transverse the bounds of logic) too far out of the way.



An illustration to analogize this fact is a child with a toy sword. Let's say you're doing a play fight with your little cousin. He slashes the air and begins celebrating, saying "yeah I got you!" You, baffled, stand there and try to explain why he's wrong, but it's like talking to a brick wall. He just continues on with his celebration of his victory.

Very few people are what you call less intelligent.

You are just trying to make yourself feel smart while you are in college! You sat here bored for two hours probably to write this. When you could of been out helping little old ladies cross the street! :P I'm sure they couldn't care less about your intellect. They would make their conclusion of your humanly worth based on your morals and actions.

Just givin ya shit. You still should get down off your Clydesdale !
Anyone who thinks they are smarter than others is an Asshole.

I'm sure this doesn't apply to you. You're really better than everyone else unlike everyone else.

Hey dudes, I said "we." Just cuz you didn't include yourself in with me is not my fault!

And actually I just graduated college and have nothing to do with my life for the moment =p. My career is starting slowly with freelance fill in work a few times a month. And that took me like 5-10 min I guess.. took so long because I worked hard on the dog poop analogy.

p.s. I am smarter than most people =p
