Another take on idiocy

[Richter]

A prudent person, going through life, can try to be smart.  They will never succeed in this though.  Every person capable of reading these words is also bound by nature to be, at some point, and idiot.  This is DUMB.  DUMB is a force of nature more unpredictable than weather, fire, or tectonics, and one we cannot escape.  Try as you might, all people will pay the tax to human nature. 
Christmas Eve will always bring one thing you still need, forcing you out into the maddened crowds.
The hottest most aggravating day of summer, you will always have to walk through the bad part of town.
You will always end up in horrific traffic jams.
You will always end up in a weird situation with yourself, or someone you can't leave to die, piss drunk and suddenly needing to accomplish something.

A prudent person can plan to avoid these, but they'll happen anyways.  You can cut down on the frequency, but never eliminate these moments of DUMB as long as you live.  You can plan against them, to make them easier to deal with, but be certain that the lack of mindfulness on someone else's part will negate, or at best hinder, your foresight. 
We are all equally fucked by this.  This is no different from any other situation, or any other day.

Oh yeah, the dumb acts like a stalking predator.  It LOVES the smell of fear and panic.

DUMB may very well be infinite.  You can always get more DUMB.

just gotta roll with the punches i guess...  is it possible to outwit DUMB?  i mean, it would seem possible, or (dare I say) incredibly easy*...

*may however be akin to trying to outwit gravity...

  I suppose I can say "I called it."  (Irony and self - fufilling Prophecy can take on the image of DUMB, as to be indistinguishable.)

...and like gravity, you can try to outrun the closest source, but you will eventually get snagged by another one.

NICE.

"DUMB is a force of nature" & I have felt it.  I am often dumb, it is like a force of nature & I sometimes feel like a stone girl dancing.  I kid you not, it's a tiny bit like life itself, it carries me away at times.     

[Richter]

I think I follow.  Like playing with things that make a "BOOM", "CRASH", "CLANG", or a "THUD" in a satisfying way?  Or ridiculous carnal antics with some one you'll likely loathe 12 hours later?

When did that become a bad thing?

TGRR,
Has done ridiculous carnal antics with someone he loathed ahead of time.

[Honey]

Yes.

GODDAMN, some version of this needs to be Forum News, or a memebomb, or something.

Maybe "Dumb is like gravity; you can try to outrun the closest source, but you will eventually get snagged by another one."

I'm actually planning to do this RIGHT NOW

(not talking about anyone here, for the record)

It's not as bad as it sounds.

Actually, it devolves into a horrible mess, each and every time.

But that's part of the appeal.

Yeah, it kind of is. Plus, an excellent distraction from Real Life.

And I get my monkey on.  Which is win.

Plus, saves on pillow talk.

[Richter]

   Well, I missed making the obvious "BOOM" metaphor earlier, then.
