I've said this so many times I lost count.
The stupid, the ignorant, the dullards, the simpletons --- most are blissfully happy with their shitty stupid lives. I'm often jealous of their naive ignorance. They don't care about their menial job and their stupid children. They rarely if ever think about the big picture. An existential thought has never entered their heads. They have more happiness with a beer in their hand sitting on their front porch than I will ever have drinking cocktails with supermodels on the beaches of Maui. Their stupidity and their lack of introspection is their greatest blessing. They don't know they're simpletons and they don't care. What makes them happy is a three day weekend, a case of beer, and the chance to get laid.
Yes, those things make me happy too ... but it's never enough.
True bliss would be shutting off my fucking mind and accepting all things for what they are and loving them in my own stupor. Never questioning the universe and just happy feeding my face and taking long naps.
