Would you rather be a genuinely happy yet mildly retarded person, or a deep, complex thinker who is generally depressed most of the time?
In being a complex thinker, it would be assumed you can think yourself out of that depression... So thats the route I would (did) take.
I think I like being a deep/complex thinker. Depression was good for me . It made me look at my life. I learned how to channel my rage and pain. I like experiencing life the good and yes the bad. Do I have regrets? You bet I do. But I can live with them. I actually had to really think about your question. It would have been so easy to choose happiness and mild retardation. The path of least resistance. But I think I choose my own path.
Very well said. It is the mentality that seperates leaders from followers... followers are mankinds greatest problem, and the administration's greatest asset.
like paris hilton mildly retarded? or forrest gump mildly retarded? (inspired by your sig) anyway, i think id rather be a complex thinker, cause i enjoy having deep conversations with people.
Complex thinker works for me, I could always use my brain to make all the happy retarded people sad then I would not be alone.
Aristotle said happiness was the most important thing people could hope to achieve. I'm very pensive. Maybe I'm going about things all wrong. Heh.
