The Benefits of Stupidity

The Advantages of Stupidity

Most people say being stupid will lead no where. They claim that it

is the worst possible condition in which to spend ones life, and if possible, it should

be completely avoided. Yet, perhaps if people took a closer look at some of the

advantages stupidity had to offer, they wouldn't have such a negative attitude toward it.

Admittedly, stupidity has certain disadvantages. Life isn't a bowl of cherries. And

being stupid doesn't make it any fruitier. Being stupid can annoy even the most sensitive

people. If one acts stupid, and does it in the wrong crowd, like a group of adults, it will

seem more immature than funny. If one is forced to act stupid while dealing with lower

life forms, one may encounter barriers such as cruelty and insensitivity. Yet these are all

true, there are still many advantages to stupidity.

The first advantage is very easy to understand. Stupid people are never asked to

do a lot. Many have noticed that people tend to steer away from someone they feel may

be stupid. This is for a very good reason. The stupidity which they posses makes a name

for themselves, a name which can be very difficult to shake. Yet, this creates a positive

situation for the stupid person. They will have a lot of free time on their hands for more

of life's truly meaningful pleasures. Now, there has been a rumor going around that

suggests that stupid people have low expectations. This is true. They are so stupid that

they donut realize great from O.K. They could have a cordless phone, but would

probably choose instead an alarm clock telephone, because it comes free with their

sensamatic folding bed. Someone with the 93advantage94 of stupidity might have a hard

time doing certain tasks, or setting things up. Yet this isn't all bad. For example, if a

stupid person leaves the chore, and comes back to it later, no one will be able to understand

it. Would they get fired from their job? No. For the very simple reason that no one

would understand their work except for them. The job would have to be given back to the

stupid person, perhaps with a higher salary, or someone would do it for them, leaving them

with even more free time!
