    “ We are always dreaming that we are awake.”
    “Life is the Supreme Comedy because all the problems we have, like religion and politics, have to keep growing in size, just like the universe, so they can masquerade as their own solution."
    --
    A fool can read these words and admit that he cannot understand them.
    And idiot cannot. So an idiot laughs and calls the author, NOW, a fool for writing the words an idiot obviously cannot understand.
    An ego called genius goes one step further. A genius gets pissed-off with words “ I refuse to read” (what he just read) these stupid words that his education, wisdom and especially ego prevents him from understanding even better.

    A Supreme Comedy? So all the problems we face are like problems in a dream......making it a supreme comedy because there really are no problems...right? The fact that we get caught up with these "problems" is the supreme comedy

    So....Write nonsense and qualify the people by their reactions? Makes sense. But is meaningless in and of itself. Especially as the given qualifications just.... make the world too simple...

    And nothing is THAT simple. What are you trying to say?

    Who the hell was the fool who wrote those things? (I hope they were both written by one person, since two such people... unimaginable).

    Do you really think a genius would get pissed-off with the words "I refuse to read"?

    If the genius would respond that way, then it is because that was the inital reaction, and he just expressed what he felt when he read it. Which means that he probably wouldn't read it again, as he "refuses to read" which was his initial reaction.

    However, I don't think it takes a genius to respond that way....

    Things can be known, but not that easily, maybe you should start seeing what you are, as there are no ideal to know what others are (and it will not help you help them). What can be helpful, is to have a set of morals that you apply to people, those that need you will come.

    How about a guy who passes peremptory judgement on how people respond to some general and clichéd statements?

    My philosophy is: "alcohol is the cause of -- and solution to! -- all of life's problems."

    Sounds like something Heraclitus would agree with.
