I'd rather be happy than smart.
And...
I'd rather be around happy people than smart people.
Now all of you terribly clever people can have some fun with that. Go ahead, knock yourselves out.
They say: "Ignorance is bliss" and I think there are a couple of studies out there supporting that meme.
I don't think it occured to them that some "smart" people ARE "happy". I would just be happy to be smart.
Notice how they put down smart people. Nothing we touch, wear, use, buy was created by people that weren't "smart". How many ditch diggers invented "microwave ovens"? Yet the right wants to put down those inventing "microwave ovens" and say it's the ditch diggers that have "common sense". Go figure.
In my experience the smarter someone claims to be the more miserable they are. Some of them don't know how miserable they are because they offload it to whoever is nearby, but it doesn't change that only an unhappy person would have so much bitterness to spread around.
Now to the bold point...
Please provide the link to where I put smart people down.
The rest of the quoted part is too funny. Nothing we touch, wear, use, buy was created by people that weren't "smart". Really? How smart is that old guy at the farmers market where I buy produce? How smart is that little girl in Malaysia that's making clothes? I just went out to check the mail, on the way I touched a tree! What smart person was responsible for creating that tree? You're making this far too easy.
