Who is the most foolish person that you ever met?
I remember a time many years ago.

My brother was driving the car, and two others were there. He got crazy, and ordered us out of the car, to walk many miles to our respective homes.

We, being semi normal people, got out of the car, and walked.

My brother is dead now, but still, that was an indicator of who he always was.

foolish.

So.

Who is the most foolish person that you ever met?

1. most people i meet are pretty damn foolish
the most interesting ones i meet are homeless people.

ran into this one guy selling incense and he just started walking with me to the bus stop and we chatted about the nature of the duality of man and the spark of the divine that resides in each soul.

it's funny, because many of the things he was saying were consistent with entrenched philosophical doctrines.

3. that is most interesting
good on you!

I've been reading so many books lately regarding various philosophies for living that I don't know anymore, but am enjoying the ride.

2. Me
I am a real-life Larry David. I swear that Curb Your Enthusiasm is a documentary about my life. My life is basically a huge collective of screw-ups, fuck-ups, missed opportunities, and misunderstandings.

6. Those who refuse to share the pains of others
They don't know what they're missing

7. empathy entails an understanding and a memory
of something others are speaking of.

All should share in an understanding of what others are going through.

They are we

We are us

Us is me

me Is I

I share understanding

8. My idiot cousin.
He lives in my Aunt's rental house and hasn't paid rent in years. He dumpster dives to get money for booze. My Aunt pays his phone,utilities,phone bill,vet bills and water. He doesn't conserve the heat and heats the whole big house he lives in. He put kerosene in the generator and the cabin and ruined it.

My Grandparents wanted him to put a shower stall in their bathroom, he gutted the bathroom, took out the sink, tub, and toilet then stopped work until my Grandparents paid him $5000.00 Basically he held the bathroom hostage. My Grandparents refused and waited until my Uncle could come and do it. For two weeks the either had to go upstairs or come next door to here to use the toilet.

He takes his biting dog with him everywhere and this dog finally bit the wrong person and ended up in court. He got a $500.00 fine, which my Aunt paid.

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. This guy is a true idiot.
