I was having lunch at work with some colleagues. One smart the other not so much. I’m always amazed at how dumb people can be. Like life has to way easier than I thought. Anyway we wind up on the subject of bad people.
I said, “I recently read something that shows how awful this world is because that by comparison, Hitler is really not that bad of a guy.
To make it clear, look up the statistics of people killed and over what span of time. Hitler is very low on that list. That’s all I was saying. I was not saying literarily that Hitler was not bad but rather that, “Hey, you think Hitler’s bad, check out these other guys.”
The smart guy just stared at me.
The not so smart one said “Don’t say that.” Don’t say that is the classic response of the stupid person.
It doesn’t even matter what you say. Only what they think you said, what they say you said.
It just reinforces the idea that you shouldn’t talk to anyone at work.
