I overheard one of my colleagues saying to another, “My dad is really opposed to any kind of stupidity.”
I passed that along to my own son: “If you want to describe me in that way — ‘My dad is opposed to stupidity in all forms’ — it’s okay with me. I mean, you don’t have to if you’re not feeling it but I can think of worse ways to be remembered.”
Stupidity is both relative and generational. Every generation of youth finds glaring gaps of logic in the logic of their parents. The reverse is likewise true. Much the same also applies to those of differing political and religious persuasions! Then, there’s that ubiquitous battle of the sexes.
