Dead Even

Some of the world's inhabitants are dangerously stupid. They are truly among us. So many behave like school yard bullies - acting without thinking their actions through. Individuals and governments who are quick to do and like an immature child refuse to take responsibility for their choices and won't back down scared of "losing face". So instead of pausing and reflecting and doing right, they dig their heels in and in doing so become even more dangerously stupid.

Look around what is happening in your place of work, community, state, country, and on the global level. You are going to find people doing acts of stupidity whether from laziness or just not willing to use their brains to their full capacity which cheats not only them but all of us suffer from their actions or inactions.

Dangers, they surround us. Like stupid, they are real and everywhere. Crime continues to rise. Life holds no value to some people they don't think twice in pulling a trigger. I grew up in a time where it wasn't perfect but you didn't hold fear in going to school, a work place, a mall....basically anywhere. You felt safe. News stories are filled with people going about their life and then in an instant become a victim to the dangers that we live with today. Sad stories that we see keep repeating.

The very definition of stupid is: " a: slow of mind. obtuse. b: given to unintelligent decisions: or acting in an unintelligent or careless manner. c: lacking intelligence or reason: brutish."

Is the world more dangerous or stupid? I call it a tie.
