Appreciate Your Idiots

Day 460

Do you know any bona fide idiots? By idiot I mean someone who, for some reason, just doesn't fit into the system we call normal or productive? Do you work with him? Are you related to her? Do they live next door?

You may only meet one or two of these people in your lifetime. You know, the ones who succeed by finding ways around the rules and refusing to give up on a dream because they believe with all their hearts that they are right.

These are the Samurai, the patriots, the warriors, the inventors, the poets, the ones who refuse to check their brain at any door, the ones who ask, "Why? and Why not?". They are the Idiots, and, without them, nothing innovative, unusual, or progressive ever happens.

Appreciate your idiot(s) tomorrow. They may perplex, frustrate, and confound you, but let's be honest, you love to follow them on their great adventures. Let them know you love them. We Idiots need that now and then.
