what's stupid?

IN terms of our broken relationships and breakups and navigating our ways back to ourselves, what exactly is stupid?

That we succumb to our emotions?

That we try and deny them?

That we engage in things to avoid unpleasantness?

Having malignant hope?

Feeding our revenge fantasies?

" I know myself - and most days I feel stupid and foolish!

I continue to be in love with someone who walked away from me almost two years ago-now theres a good dose of stupid and foolish for you.

Oh, well! Such is life.

Sending you support and prayers Joyride! "

" None of this sounds stupid to me. It's more about how I choose to take care of myself through all these questions. "

" Why do I feel the need to start some sort of "discuss this" thread? I shall refrain. As to do so would surely be stupid. Off to look for some good old-fashioned support-seeking threads. "

" In reading posts to Rev's compaion piece to thius thread, it occurs to me too, when we're in the throes of emotional pain and confusion, we're probably at our lowest in terms of emotional intelligence, and financial intelligence too.

I think probably a lot of our bst thinking, choosing, reacting goes down the drain (for awhile) until we feel our feet under us again.

And slowly, or maybe not so slowly we get back those valuable "faculties" again -- take better care of our bodies, pay closer attention to our cheque book, improve our spirituality with prayer/meditation/fellowship, "cleaning house" in terms of people who are good for us, just making healthier smarter choices all the way around.

I alluded to this earlier, but I can actually laugh at how stupid I was acting back then, I mean, I have a sense of humour in my appreciation of just how ridiculous we humans get given the right circumstances. It sure isnt funny at the time, but it makes for some silly stories and situations in hindsight.

No wonder it becomes fodder for standup.
