The pedestrian view
All my life I wanted to be smart. Why? To make money? No, not really.
But why? Because I wanted to be safe.
When I was lost in the crowd at 3 and a half, I obviously wasn’t smart enough to know which way to go to get home.
When that guy came up to me and took my hand, I obviously wasn’t smart enough to know that he was going to hurt me.
So I spent most of my life learning, getting degrees, reading… you know, getting smart. But yet, I made a lot of mistakes that got me into trouble.
