better off brainless??

i was taking with josh about the status of hollywood celebs with no brains but with lots of cash and fame, and we thought that maybe being dumb wouldn't be so bad, b/c then you don't have to worry about little things that ppl with brains worry about. it is true, intelligence comes with a price: we see things that others don't, and are troubled by them. i've often wondered if i would've been happier if i wasn't so smart. (i've never thought that i was smart, but i notice/understand things that ppl don't, most importantly, i understand people and their nature.) i don't know. i've decided to think that struggles and obstacles, no matter how brutal, will help me in my life, in the long run. that means, those with no troubles, or don't notice them, will have trouble recovering when the real storm comes.
