How to Lose the Fear of Being an Idiot


“The fool in us” is an expression used to describe the intrinsic and powerful side within us all that we strive to hide
We are very afraid of being fools
What we expect in our difficult times, we may be
Which we should simply accept in a spirit of humor and appreciation
A decent life is not our silly belief in our ability to kill or avoid the fool inside us
It is what allows us to practice the only art we have within us: logical coexistence
The fool inside us makes us feel his presence in small and big moments. It is clumsy
He forgets the names, loses important documents, drops food on himself and errs in receiving the airway
He interrupts others and shakes at the wrong moments. He stabs and blushes
He may get angry attacks as a result of ignoring him for a moment, and he may feel a conspiracy against him if he witnessed an accident near him
He may scream if he can not open one of the holes
He is self-critical when confronted with criticism. For him, it is always someone else’s fault
The fool inside us is a child who has a difficult day
We know it from the inside and suppose it is unique
In fact, it represents what may be called the lowest self of all humanity and the remaining good morals are alone
Which made the fool inside others less visible and thus made the fool inside us seems a strange exception
Wisdom consists mostly of accepting that the fool inside us will never leave
Thus recognizing that we must seek to form a successful working relationship with them
On the other hand, try to prevent the appearance of the fool inside us ..
Launches a range of inappropriate features. For example, we may lose confidence in ourselves
Or our sense of betrayal increases in an ongoing attempt to show our dignity in exchange for others
We may refuse to ask someone to come out on time or to demand an increase in salary
We may not travel alone or do not make a public speech and all these moves that require the risk of the idiot’s control over us
If we do not become, by disguising ourselves as foolish, cruel, and impractically dependent
Nothing makes us seem more absurd than our insistence on absolute seriousness
In relationships, there is no greater generosity than telling our partner in advance
About the idiot inside us so that we give him a map of his behavior
And to apologize immediately and honestly when the fool overwhelms us
No one should look for a partner who lacks an idiot inside him (which is impossible)
We just need to know more about their asshole style
In a more wiser world, the fundamental and undeniable question will be at an early emotional date:
“What is the idiot in you?”
The most appropriate school to learn about the fool inside us is comedy
The essence of comedy lies in revealing the actions of the fool in a way that calls for sympathetic laughter rather than harsh criticism
Comedians are wise people who know how to describe the fool inside them in a good way
They teach us to do the same
Love is another solution to the problems of the fool inside us. Love at its most mature and willing stages
It means confronting the fool inside the other and embracing it end without fear or insult
But the generosity and imagination that the parents consider
To their beloved reddish-faced child during his tantrum
Having a fool inside is not a nice thing. In fact, it is a huge inconvenience, but we can not hope for it
A wise society must aspire to understand, absorb and forgive the fool within everyone
And be dedicated in calming it and limiting its impact
It will be one of the greatest human achievements when we can end
From moving from someone to being considered an idiot
To the ability to view it as a less aggressive creature
And more ethical as “stupid idiot”
