When Smart People Do Stupid Things!!????

 

 

  I have been meaning to get back on my writing saddle and it took only one smart man to do something stupid to get me back in the game, two words, “Brian Williams”. I have to admit he reminds me of a quote,(Author unknown), “We are not logical animals, but emotional creatures, bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.”. I have to admit I have never really understood the ego of people whom need to be in the limelight.  The American culture loves its small and large screen personalities.  We love them so much we build them up and then take great pleasure in tearing them down, we live in such a dysfunctional society.

I have included several snapshots I found of the egomaniac Brian, now I don’t believe anything he says, his real name is probably something like, “Tyrone” or something and the network thought it was too “ethnic”…

anyway…..

 I told Neil Armstrong, One small step for man,  a giant leap for mankind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 I could go on forever, the point is that I am sure this occurs  everywhere on the planet… I have a very paranoid and extremely militant friend.  He always reminds me of how we doctors are an open book, type our names into google and you can find everything about our professional lives and our training and a great deal regarding our personal lives.  He would always tell me everyone else in society, check out their resume, they always embellish the truth. Now the news  is saying he, “disremembered” What the Fuck does that mean???  I see and view this as a clinical term called confabulation; In psychology, confabulation (verb: confabulate) is a memory disturbance, defined as the production of fabricated, distorted or misinterpreted memories about oneself or the world, without the conscious intention to deceive. I believe in his mind, he really was shot at….? I know this sounds strange, but he believes he was there in the war being shot at, the mind is a very powerful weapon, can be used for good or evil, and of course stupidity you decide..

    Love your blog on “When Smart People do Stupid Things.” Unfortunately no one ever advice or counsel on “Never wear a garment of PRIDE or Boasting… Having graduated in Journalism/Mass Communications one key that we were taught was to do your research. Williams
    Neglected to research on
    Kings, philosophers, presidents, songwriters, movie stars etc. “Tearing the Garment of Pride”. One can find evidence of pride 2,000 years ago with King Uzziah became powerful. his pride led to his downfall.
    2nd chro 26:16. King Hezekiah heart was proud.
    King Herod. Arrogance and pride killed him. Lastly may this be a message for us to meditate on.
    The TITANIC SHIP: Do you remember this classic big ship?. On its maiden voyage, the man who built it looked at its huge hull and gleefully declared “Not even God can sink it”. It did not only sink, it claimed the life of 1,513
    Passengers and crew.
    WHAT A SHAME. It is my
    hope that we can learn and
    Inscribe on our “Hearts”.
    Proverbs 11:2 says.
    When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with
    Humility comes wisdom.
    May we run and walk always in humility.
