Ignorance and bliss

 








And then I like to tell myself, in my rage and disappointment: All these stupid people who supported or failed to prevent a horrific disaster are going to suffer terribly from the fruits of the seeds they planted!


But that's just my futile longing for justice, and my hopeless dream that people be better. In truth they won't meaningfully suffer their sins. 

After all, the problem with being stupid is that though many people pay for their stupidity, very few of them understand that they are.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
