Stupidity is not making good use of our gifts to help us in this life and the next. Stupidity keeps people from loving God, neighbors, and self.
The truly stupid hate for us to be free. They want their neighbors reduced to poverty, slavery, and death.
Many people become enslaved by sensory gratification. That dulls their minds with a degree of stupidity that keeps them from noticing their greater loss of freedom that can later be inflicted. Drugs offer a perfect example of enslaving people with addiction, then putting them in jail.
Other enslavers use taxation and regulation to reduce their neighbors’ freedom.
All who hate freedom are anti-Catholic. The freedom they hate most is the freedom to make choices that lead us to God and the eternal joy of the salvation they have, stupidly, chosen to renounce.
Understanding stupidity, slavery, and anti-Catholicism. It’s important. Seeing the hateful nature of those who choose stupidity may help us get to Heaven.
