Today's Tao
He said, “I’m looking for intelligent people to talk to.”
I didn’t question him, even though I knew it wasn’t the truth. It was what he said as not to sound shallow or simple around new women, even though there was a strong case for it.
Why? Isn’t ignorance a shelter? Aren’t they happier?
Intelligent people—we’re usually a little angry and somewhat frustrated, because along the way we figured out what the truth was. And these days—we’re somewhat melancholy, because we’re coping with our revelations.
I smiled and let him talk—I knew it would all be too overwhelming.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble. But did you know that %83 of people describe themselves as "above average" intelligence? That's %33 extra. I wouldn't mind you being full of yourself if you had someway to prove it.
