I wish i were dumb

I wish i were dumb [+ favourites]

Sometimes i wish i could just stop thinking. All day all night my mind works like a slave laborer on overtime. I have so many ideas, so many things i want to discover. I want to be dumb sometimes and not have a care in the world. just to accept things for what they are. But i know if i stop thinking i will be giving up my being, my inner essence, my soul to the greedy people out there. Plus i really want to know why the hell are we here?

Does anyone else feel this way?

"How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?"

Yes indeed I have felt this way roo. I guess if was within you to blindly wxcept your role and how life is defined as it is handed to you - you may be a whole lot happier. So maybe questioning the way of things is folly. Maybe that is why freedom of expression and mass education was unheard of in previous times maybe it is for the best- maybe we need protection from ouselves

If you think that's a problem at 16, wait a little longer. You're going to be surrounded by people who abuse their bodies, minds, loved ones and more... and you'll just wish your life could be run in a similar way, exploiting all there is to exploit without a care in the world.

But you just can't, because then you're giving up on what makes you proud of being different.

"Hating everyone protects me from elitism."

argh, the more you understand(or think you understand) about the universe the more bleak and lonely it seems to become. at least, that's my experience. what do they call that, a faustic spirit-somone who thirsts continually for knowledge but can never find any true happiness in it? the more you know, the more you want to know, and no one can know everything. so, if that is the curse of the intelligent person, then it sounds pretty depressing. i think i just have a negative outlook on life.
