That's right! See how special my little title banner is? That shows you that this is going to be something AMAZZZZIIINNNNGGGGGG. So heads up and open your goddamn ears. I am now announcing...
BJD's DAILY WISDOM THREAD!!!
Yaayyyyy!!!
Here's how it works:
Every day, I will post a new wise --usually humorous-- saying or phrase. Then I will expand upon that saying, explain it a bit, or just generally make a little rant about how it's either true or untrue. I'm doing this for entertainment's sake, but also hoping that someone (mostly me) might learn something from some of these sayings and phrases.
ALRIGHT... SO OUR FIRST WISE SAYING IS...
Sunday -- 6 November 2011
"A man who thinks he is more intelligent than his wife is married to a very, very intelligent woman."
...because a smart woman will let her man THINK that he is smarter. As annoying as that makes the man, it actually makes things easier for the woman and it makes the man happy. It's like the old saying... would you rather be happy? Or correct?
I think this goes both ways. Each person in a relationship should strive to make the other feel smarter than they are; and if they believe that, THEN LET THEM BELIEVE IT!! What do you gain by shoving your intelligence in your partner's face?
Too many relationships become a battle and a competition of who is smarter and who is the dumb one. Wouldn't it be more conducive to peace in the relationship if BOTH members let the other think they're smarter?
Or... why can't we just believe that our partners are JUST AS smart as we, but in different ways? Street smart, common sense, science smart, history smart, reading/writing proficiency... we all have different strengths. There's no reason to be a dick and try to dominate the one we love by forcing our "intelligence" on them.
Well, that's kinda all I have to think about for today. Stay tuned for more wise sayings from BJD!!
P.S. Feel free to post your own wise sayings/pieces of wisdom that you have!
