There’s No Cure For Stupidity

We hope stupid person can be cured by wise.

 

We have schools and teachers and professors and masters and all that,

But the fool is still a fool.

Put wise words in his mouth – it’s still a fool uttering them.

 

…Perhaps you can tell a fool by the wise-sounding words escaping his mouth!

Wise person has no business either sounding wise or getting wise.

Wise is already wise. You won’t hear the latest trendiest platitude from him. He didn’t look at it.

 

There’s no cure for stupidity.

You can’t eat a book and cure your stupidity.

Wisdom must be discovered each and every moment of life.

 

We really wish stupid could be cured with wisdom;

we secretly fear being stupid and unwise ourselves,

if only there was this one cure for stupidity, one magic way of not being stupid

one school one teacher

alas there is none

 

The sooner one realises the futility of acquiring WISDOM — the sooner can one actually begin acting wisely.

Which is to approach each problem with the deepest care, scrutiny, to approach each problem intimately and anew.
