HEALTH TIPS: STUPIDITY; UNDERSTANDING STUPIDITY.

Being spaced-out, or in layman's term, "stupid" is one of the most common mental disorder that medical practitioners are fast being aware of. Persons with the spaced-out syndrome cannot distinguish right from wrong; and live in their own fantasy world which they are (they imagine) the King, the hero, or the all-time matinee idol. Their limited brain function imagines that they are better good-looking, more stylish, or more intelligent than others. The truth is, however, is the opposite, they are society's outcasts who suffer every waking moment of their lives. A stupid man does not really know who he is, or what his place in this world is. Spaced-out people try hard to imitate successful people. They grow angry and frustrated when they know they cannot.
Thus, a stupid man's resentment grows against a person who is successful in life. The real reason behind the anger: A successful person always reminds the patient of his weaknesses, his longings and desires which he could never ever get. Who are these people? They are the under-achievers, the school drop-outs, or the habitual law-offenders around us. Most often, spaced-out people are 'followers' since it is impossible for them to lead a group or other people at their level because of their inferiority (probably in all aspects as a person). The personality of these people is made up of only two things: envy and anger. They are simply and without valid reason angry at everybody for the simple reason that deep inside they know that they could never be like the person which they are angry at... In short, they are dying of envy of that person... His achievements, set of friends, his car perhaps? His power and position at work...because the stupid person (deep inside him knows) that he can never attain an achiever's status in his lifetime.
Whatever a spaced-out person says or does, he knows that he does not amount to anything. Thus, his anger and envy against achievers, leaders, and society as a whole. Stupidity can affect anybody, in all levels of society. Spaced-out persons (given their low I.Q. and E.Q.) idolize low-life criminals (because they could identify with them and not with persons that the world admires). They idolize rock stars and bands who sing the misery of life (because a stupid man's life is, of course, miserable). They also use complicated words (when simple ones can suffice. Why? Because they think that by using big words, people would think that they are intelligent). Likewise, a person afflicted with spaced-out syndrome hates to be advised by a person who is more intelligent than him or her, because the patient feels insulted. Believe it or not, a stupid man would rather take advice from another stupid person, like himself rather than from one who is intelligent!
I do not mean to sound harsh or misleading. People, even if they are stupid, still needs to be respected, cared for, and understood. Unknown to many, mental disease worsens as the person grows older.
