Fools of the World Abound
Why is the world so riddled with fools? It does not matter, for nothing is to be done. You may show people that they are fools, but that seldom does more than irritate them. If you choose not to associate with fools you will spend your life alone in the Himalayas trying desperately to find a way to not associate with yourself. If you go insane and attempt to kill all the fools, you will not make it far before you are killed for a fool. If you sit in a coffee shop and complain about fools, you may enjoy yourself. But you will be thought a fool yourself which indeed you probably are. The only possible option is to live with fools and forgive their foolery, and attempt to help them if they endanger someone, even themselves. But most important, when dealing with fools, remember you are a fool yourself.
