If you are a fool and realize this, then you will strive to prove to everyone that you are smart. And therefore you will do everything differently from what normal people do. Normal people do everything for themselves and do everything as they see it, as they know it, as they can. Without worrying about what they look like. You will do everything so that everything shows a manifestation of your intelligence, so that everyone can see how smart you are, but in essence, you will deny the experience of other people, act differently from everyone else. And You will act unnaturally, like a fool. That is, you will act in full accordance with your idea of ​​yourself: “I am a fool.” And you will think like a fool. And you'll look like a fool. But if You realize that You are a fool, this means that You are not completely a fool, but only partially a fool. Because when a complete idiot is told that he is abnormal, he usually answers: “Who is abnormal? Am I not normal? You yourself are all crazy here.” And he, in fact, does not doubt this truth. And if a person considers himself 100% smart, then this is a truly abnormal person. Therefore, if a person admits that he is a fool, then he is not such a fool, and is able to understand that it is his idea of ​​himself, and not what he really is, that makes him a fool. And if you are a fool, accept the truth right now. Tell yourself: sometimes I act like a fool, but there are many times when I act like a smart person. And if I give up the idea of ​​​​proving to someone that I am smart, my behavior will be more like the behavior of an intelligent person.
