Victims of our own intelligence
“We think we are so clever, but we have become victims of our own intelligence.” The man on the bus said. I was overhearing a man who was telling someone else about a song he had written.
Because we choose every attitude we have, we cannot say that we are victims of other people. At any given moment we are making choices about how to think and act. At the moment we think it’s the right attitude or right action. But sometimes in retrospect we become aware that our attitudes weren’t the greatest. We might be appalled by our previous attitudes. But we can only blame ourselves. We chose those attitudes at the time and thought they were right. Hopefully throughout life we can gain awareness of our attitudes and we change. “We think we are so clever,” he said.
