Nov 20th, 2022: Endless Stupidity

 

"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe."

(Some people attribute this quote to Albert Einstein. We cannot say for sure.)

What are the causes of human stupidity?

Our inconsistencies while dealing with life's absurdity.

We are at a loss spiritually when we portray stupidity.

We define knowledge based on endless uncertainty.

We take the name of God in vain.

We move from stupidity to being profane.

The history of humanity shows a series of stupid acts.

We make the same mistakes by denying the facts.

How can we overcome our own stupidity?

Maybe we should start with humility.

Having a proper understanding of who we are in the presence of God is a good start.

We need to let God's wisdom impart.

We should have the freedom to see God's gifts in others.

So we might be to dwell in God's presence further.

Our knowledge will help us to see God in all aspects of life.

Wisdom will overcome stupidity while our hearts are contrite.

Proverbs 14: 16-18

"One who is wise is cautious and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and careless. A man of quick temper acts foolishly, and a man of evil devices is hated. The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge."

Philippians 4: 8

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
