Quite frequently I find myself wondering. Today's topic of wonder which has crossed the recesses of my jumbled feline mind is idiocy. Keeping in mind that idiocy is quite different than being mad, if one knows what to look for, I try to keep my opinions of idiocy as unbiased as one can. I'm sure we have all been assaulted by idiocy at one point or another, whether it be a person afflicted with it, or one of those times when the hand of some great hereto unknown deity reaches down and decides to shake up our little crystal ball worlds like so many snow globes and bring it all down around our ears.
Prefering as always to keep myself aloof of such strife inevitably draws the attention of some of the larger acts of idiocy, seemingly with a personal vendetta. It appears that by those of us who try to remain hassle free, some cosmic balance is upset and idiocy lays out a full hand of spades in the card game of life every 5th round or so when there's enough chips on the table to make even the White Queen drool with avarice.
Quite usually in the "person" form rather than the "cosmic".
Such an act visited me today, with some fever. Now while it was simply the "person" form rather than the "cosmic", I'm quite lucky I'm already mad or such acts would assuredly put me in this very place anyway... Hm... Perhaps its not so bad at all then. This branch is rather comfy.
