outsmarting stupidity

I often tirelessly like to brag about my enviable brilliance by saying, I am so smart I have out smarted myself many times.
 Every year end I look back and my mistakes standout in stark contrast to common sense. I don't defend them, I just make new ones the following year.

I rank stupidity right up there alongside suffering as examples of the persistence problem in my definitions. Why are many of us so stupid in reflection and so blindsided by suffering? I wrestle with these problems because I need to consolidate my faith since I believe it is my engine of success. Everything happens because of faith and the directed strength of it. This is because we really are at bedrock, stupid. Why do I say this? It is because there is so much more that we do not know as opposed to what we actually know.

The unreliability of witnesses
Even what we know is subject to doubt in view of all the different outlooks given by equally different witnesses. (Example: Different views of Christ in the Bible are stumbling blocks for atheists butfor me when I reflect on it, it is collaborative since people all give defferent views like various perspectives as if from different orbiting planets. It is an indication of the lack of collusion or purposeful construction.) So even the more we know buries us in even deeper awareness of the lack of all the facts, as we like to call them.
