Went to a site called goodreads and read a bunch of reviews for a few books. Mary Stewart and R Scott Bakker... Was depressed by the stupidity of most of the people. In order to find happiness I have to get past that. Just forgetting the reality of what's out there is what has worked best so far. I wonder if there might be some other way. That the ravens, fish, squirrels and cats in my life aren't so smart doesn't bother me. Perhaps I could learn treat other people the same way instead of expecting them to be my equal.

Conversely, many people are hypersensitive to such an arrogant attitude in me. But short of becoming a stupider person they'll still say the same.
