Is it good to be smart?

My answer would be: no.

The less you know, the happier you are. That's why I always say that children are the only happy people in the world, because they're barely aware of their own existence.

Let's make an analogy, shall we? Let's say we have 2 people. One has a house with a small backyard and his only worry in the world is what happens in his own backyard. Now, the other one has a huge farm, thousands of miles long and he has to keep an eye on eveything that happens there. You see the problem? The more you know, the more worries you're gonna have.

Yes, it may sound a little wiseacre of me to say that but it's true. It may sound also bitter, but that's what I've learned so far.

The more you care about people, the more disappointed you're gonna be. Because there's a huge space between each person. Each one of us, in a way, i'ts a world, and you can't expect from anybody to correspond the image you have createc of them. That's unfair.

The higher the barriers, the higher the fall.

What have being smart ever done for me? Nothing. Not a damn thing. It actually made everything worse because I saw, very young, that I didn't fit in, that I didn't belong anywhere or with anybody. 

The best thing in the world is to be naive, inexperienced. If you are, you're most likely to be happy and to keep trying. I've lost my naivety a long time ago, since then, the world is much less magical to me.
