This is where the prevailing logic of this set of people fails. It is possible to see what is wrong with the world, accept it, then focus on what is good and beautiful. That is the mark of a truly intelligent person.

I could not agree more. There are people here at my college who are elitist assholes that think they are smarter than everyone. These people are the ones who commit suicide because they get a B on an organic chemistry exam while I live life and take the B with stride. Dont be cynical. I love just enjoying life. I would consider myself to be a smart person but lots of people probably don't. Oh well. I am not going to lose sleep over it. Just enjoy life, the world is not a horrible place at all. You make it a horrible place to yourself by thinking that way.
*edit* typos come to you late at night.
