I realize I'm jealous of stupid people.
I'm jealous that they can plead innocent based off their own ignorance and naivete.
Those who flunk out of school realize that there are bigger things than a GPA and a college degree.
Surely, a degree puts you ahead of other people--based off society's standards, of course...
But how far does a degree really get you?
It doesn't necessarily make you any better than anyone else.
Those who drop out of school realize these things..
College is an aspiration for most.
But there is life beyond college.
There's certainly life beyond highschool.
I wish I had realized that sooner.
Perhaps those who are academically lacking are much more smarter than those who can recite and derive the entire quadratic formula.
Those who are "stupid" probably do not understand that life is viewed as a competition.
They actually view life as...life.
Not a test of species fitness, but rather, life.
I am jealous of them.
I wish I was ignorant again.
