Being intelligent is the worst curse. Not only are you aware of everybodys stupidness and have to live with their dumb dumb decisions, you also think you are the dumbest person alive.
Being stupid is actually just being naive. Having absolute no thought at all about what horrors are being unleashed in this gruesome world is such a blessing.
Dumb people are also so sure of their smartness and therefore live a dumb happy life, but smart people are not aware of their smartness. They are so smart that they only see their errors and dumbness, a dumb person could never. They envy the confidence of doing something so incredibly wrong. And dont forget: the fact that you know that you know nothing is just nightmare fuel.

whenever I get mad at someone else's stupidity, or am confused as to why they made a certain decision, I just have to remind myself, that this is their first time living life too, and we are all just small and stupid
that 30 to 90 minutes after work where you're just a husk staring dead-eyed at the phone, or the subway ad, or the wall. when nothing can stir even the barest hint of a human feeling in your soul! not even a gentle breeze or the music of alice coltrane
feel free to amble along and maximize your time in the sun and fresh air. people are always like "you're in new york! walk fast!" but take it from a lifelong new yorker: you are allowed to chill...slow down...enjoy yourself. you don't always have to rush.
