Yesterday, I was talking with a friend about all this going on in the world. He reminded me about one quote. We could not remember where it came from, but as it reveals a state of mind of many that are running the world today and their advisers, let me share it with you. It is more anecdote than a quote.

Two friends are talking, and one is criticising another  person they both now. He says that person is an idiot, stupid, narcissistic, and insidious, and that it can not be trusted.

His friend tries to balance it saying , but he is educated at prime universities, and he knows five languages!

Then he gets the answer from his friend:  “Really? Well then, he is stupid in all those five languages!”

When someone is stupid, sooner or later, that comes in front to be realised by the majority as it can not be hidden. When the bluff is called, all cover falls and plain stupidity is revealed.

However, allow me to use another quote, thus time in French, that explains what the perception of stupid creature is : “La mort, c’est un peu comme la connerie. Le mort, lui, il ne saitpas qu’il est mort… ce sont les autres qui sont tristes. Le conc’est pareil…” 

And in another language – English

“Death is like stupidity. He who is dead does not know that he is dead, it is hard for others. It is the same when you are stupid…”

This is from the popular 2004 comic “Le Chat” by the Philippe Geluck Belgium cartoonist, humorist, and sometimes actor.

To add another quote from Jacques Prévert:

“Stupidity is the strangest of all diseases.  It is not the patient who suffers from it, but everyone else around him.”

So, the strategy is simple. When you want to fight powerful stupidity, you let it first grow! Grow and grow till it blinds your enemy. When that occurs, just check it that the enemy became blind. Then provide a bite! Good, tasteful, juicy bite.

And then strike.

Till that person gets rid of stupidity and removes all the nonsense, you are strategically positioned for at least a balanced and thus favourable outcome of the confrontation. 

If, God forbid, stupidity continues to rule, then that place has a serious existential issue.

How is this happening?

Simple!

Those who donated demand different idiots, stupid creatures to occupy places of influence, and from there push for the agenda of donors.

Those donors do not care about the fate of soldiers of their own place, especially when the ruler never had the courage to have a personal combat experience.

In that case, all has been projected towards the prime goal-that of Armageddon and as per some sick insane brains return of messiah to earth!

They are poisoning opinions by planting mistakes. That technique is bringing misconceptions that become a base for making decisions…

Combined with idiotic stupidity that becomes formula for disaster!

And because of the lack of trust, there is no other way than the highway.

What is to be done?

Simple!

Find a courage to acknowledge mistakes, remove leeches, make peace, and go out of the way. In that case, you could become celebrated for generations to come as a saviour of the nation and thus the world.

Or stay and try to be that what you wanted all the time! A peacemaker! Real trustworthy peacemaker.
