Stupid Is as Stupid Is
One of my favorite movies of all time is Forrest Gump, featuring inspired acting by Tom Hanks, who portrays a mentally challenged man from Alabama, who ends up taking his limited abilities and travels the world, reaching thousands of people.
Famous line: “Stupid is as stupid does.”
Although I find that to be insightful, I have to tell you that stupid is as stupid is.
Because every once in a while we all do stupid things but it doesn’t make us stupid.
One of the nastiest outgrowths of the social meanness that now occupies our country is the notion that some people are “just stupid.”
Once you convince those around you that some other group is full of “stupid people,” it’s not only simple to ignore them, but becomes much easier to mistreat them.
We have to learn the difference between stupid things and stupid people.
Well, let me use the video below to help make my point.
With hat in hand and my purse in possession, I launch out into my day, not becoming a stupid person because I did some stupid things, but instead, grateful that grace often covers a multitude of errors, if we keep our hearts humble.
There are two things that are not true about anyone in the human race:
No one is truly a genius, and no one is actually stupid.
