Idiocy is relative

Most people would have been called an idiot by someone in their life...Your parents call you an idiot when you go out drinking instead of studying...your friends call you an idiot for throwing up in the taxi you're sharing home after you've had 10 tequila shots mixed with a bottle of red wine...the hot girl in the bar calls you an idiot when you try to pick her up with some lame pick up line in front of her boyfriend, who happens to be 20cm taller than you and was having arm wrestling matches for money...

Don't feel bad when someone calls you an idiot because chances are, so are they. The girl in the bar is probably an idiot for dating that guy, your friends' are idiots for getting in the taxi after letting you drink all that booze. And let's not go into the parents....

Everyone is an idiot relative to someone else. You might not think that Albert Einstein was an idiot, but Issac Newton might have. And maybe God thought Issac Newton was an idiot, who knows? You could make an idiot tree if you wanted and have a supreme being like God at the top, then go down to some smart people like Newton and Einstein. You can keep going down until you reach the bottom, where there is 1 person, and you can't find anyone more of an idiot than them. It could be Paris Hilton, some dumb robber on the tv show who gives his drivers' license to prove he's old enough to steal alcohol, or that guy you know who pissed on the electric fence.

What's my point? Maybe I don't really have one but if someone calls you an idiot, you can rightfully reply 'look who's talking!' and you'd be right. But if you say that to the bodybuilder in the bar, sorry, you're at the bottom of the tree.
