I’ll say it again and again – I like this quote
“[…] ceea ce contează în viață nu-i niciodată inteligența, ci bunătatea […]. E lucrul cel mai bun pe care îl poate avea cineva în viață.” (Mircea Cărtărescu – via video-ul de aici)
And another one:
“never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity” (Hanlon’s razor)
(adapted from:)
This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction, one should select the solution with the fewest assumptions,[3] and that this is not meant to be a way of choosing between hypotheses that make different predictions. (Occam’s razor – Wikipedia)
Innocence is so cool! Sure, it lacks intelligence, sure, it’s not smart, but a happy heart can be forgiven for the lack of intelligence.
As long as you have a good heart, even though “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”, I think that’s the way to go.
Do good, as good as you can do it, and you’ll be forgiven for the lack of intelligence in making things right.
