Is it normal to resign oneself to a life of idiocy?
I have come to the conclusion as of late that I am truly and exceedingly idiotic at times. In the past, I have attempted to cover this up, as I feel that I possess no redeeming qualities other than my intellect, but as time goes on, I find my supposedly superior intellect to be less and less reliable. In fact, I'm convinced that I'm quite dull, and instead of senselessly attempting to improve my knowledge so that I might continue to delude myself into thinking that I have something of even the most fleeting relevance to share with others, I have instead decided to resign myself to the fact that I am, if not average in my intellectual endowment, at least subaverage in those regards. I find the notion of embracing my own ineluctable stupidity to be almost liberating on some level; no longer shall I beat myself up for the many mistakes that I shall inevitably continue to make in my daily life, and I shall no longer be bound by the chains of expectations that others have set upon me. Rather than put forward some kind of facade and attempt to interact with others on an intellectual level that is clearly beyond my reach, I shall simply stay out of others' way and not set my sights too high. I will accept that I am an idiot, and when I have accepted that proposition, there is not a damn thing anyone can say to me that will matter. I am a free man now; my innate stupidity is one of a kind, and it would be a shame to hide it away from the rest of the world under the misguided notion that I would be able to meaningfully participate with others if I only had a brain.
