...of reversed ignorance?

Is it possible for someone to be so intelligent that they are very dumb? I know that may sound harsh, using the word dumb, but it’s the only word I can think of while I type right now. I don’t feel like using the thesaurus to fluff anything up right now. Frustration, hurt, anger and seeking revenge are all roaming about in my body right now. Yes, I know that vengeance belongs to the LORD, Romans 12:19, so please do not comment back with that. I am in need of something more than that right now.

Or, is it possible for someone to be so intelligent that they think everyone else is dumb? AHHHHHH, I just want to yell over and over again, along with the many other times that I’ve already voiced it, “I’M NOT STUPID!!!”

My life, I have shared with you all pretty transparently, but right now, I’m not ready to reveal what I’m allowing to make me “go off” like this at the moment. I do know that I will talk to you all about it eventually when my attitude is better, but for now, take what portion I have shared with you and talk to our Creator about His precious creation, (Larie), who feels frustrated, angry, hurt, vengeful, worn out, and defective.

Inspired by Matthew 12:34-37, from the overflow of Larie’s heart, her mouth speaks…

“hem dink me stewpid”

My thoughts, I may not articulate in a way that pleases your mental comprehension: BUT ME NOT STOOPID!

Da wurds I be speakin’ be messed up sometimes:
BUT I AIN’T STEWPID!

Just cuz you not getting what me trying to say:
DON’T MAKE ME STOOPID!

Hem said dat I don’t make no sense:
SO HOW DAT MAKE ME STEWPID?

Me just keep quiet cuz he be talkin’ like I ain’t got no clue:
BUT ME NOT STOOPID!

Is stupidity what I communicate to you?

Again, my thoughts may not be articulated into verbal context very well, (By the way, I am a writer, not a speaker!):
HOWEVER, THAT DOES NOT QUALIFY ONE FOR STUPIDITY!

Perhaps your mentality level is not compatible with one of my awesomeness:
BUT YOU DARE TO IMPLY THAT I AM STUPID IN YOUR ARROGANT TONE!

Sometimes, your explanations make no sense to me:
DO DAT MAKE YOU STEWPID?

  2. Larie: I am so sorry this happened to you, dear.
    I often feel this way when my emotions are poked in ways that hurt deeply.
    I will pray God's peace and comfort in your heart today. And You are NOT stupid, you are a dearly loved child of the Father, who has put his mind inside you. So, tell the devil to put that in his pipe and smoke it!
    Love you, sis,
    Jen, Audience of ONE

  5. I'm so sorry Larie. Just because someone doesn't "get" us doesn't mean the problem is ours. I think there's a verse in romans about all the smart people actually being pretty dumb. Chapter 2 or something.
    I hope you're feeling better and know that you the mind of Christ and the Fruits of the spirit. You're not stupid anyway. Anyone reading this blog can see that.

  6. The kind of personality you are describing here strikes me as the mocker in Proverbs. I call the mocker, "a fool on steroids" or "a fool in overdrive." A fool does not listen to advice and doesn't learn; a mocker goes a step further and tries to make other people think they are the fools!

    Mockers are hard to deal with. If we let them, they will strip us of dignity and self-respect. They look condescendingly at other people, make fun of them, and try to make them look stupid.

    The mocker is a very disturbed person and tries to pass this off onto other people. He tries to create self-doubt in others.

    It sounds like you have met some mockers. Don't let them work their sick poison into your soul! This outpouring of your soul in this post is healthy! Appeal to others who can uphold and confirm you. Don't ever let the mockers judgment of you be the final say!

    You have good ideas in your blogs and you write well. This shows you have intelligence! Don't let the mocker make you think otherwise!
