Cast ye bottle into the sea.

Oh, dear world of borrowed opinions... I have lost my patience for you. Imaginations made of colourful paper-cutouts and convictions straight out of the late-night special. I'm done. I quit. I shall no longer try to rationalize with you. Ridicule be the new policy of choice.

To re-quote the guy my lecturer for Organizational Behavior likes to quote-"Never argue with an idiot, for they bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience." Right.

I am blogging vicariously through you.

Should've told you before making myself cozy in your brain, but oh well.

Cheers to the best comment ever made on this blog.

*clink*

P.S. I can just see us doing this over cosmopolitans someday. Or single malt whiskey... depending on the time frame. :)

I love that quote and try very hard to adhere to it.. though I must add.. it is difficult.

It is difficult to see people not understand what I do, and difficult to not say what I think... knowing very well I wouldn't be understood.

But well... hail mediocrity

:-) Well, it's subjective to label someone an idiot. But if it helps, why not.

Sherry Wasandi said...

@Niti: Very true. Sometimes you just can't help the urge to bang your head against walls.

But that is where ridicule and sarcasm come in. Hail Chandler!


@mgeek: Yep. If being obscenely judgmental helps, why not? :)


@soin: Actually, there are many symptoms. I study humans in the manner Nat Geo studies wild animals in their natural habitat.

as an appendix to your professor's favourite quote i'd like to add - why argue with an idiot when you can be one instead. so much more fun :)

Srishti said...

Oh, but haven't you heard?
Idiocy is now legitimate. And acceptable. ;) :)

Sherry Wasandi said...

@mentalie: Interesting suggestion indeed. But the fact that there will always be those who excel at it all around me, and I wouldn't ever come close to matching up, is rather daunting. :)

@Srishti: I blame it on the moon. Every time.
