It is said that an inner city a group of people had fun with A village BOBO. A poor man of low intelligence, lived on odd jobs and handouts. Every day they called the idiot to the bar where they met and offered him the choice between two currencies: a large 400 KINGS and a smaller 2,000 REIS. He always chose the most and least valuable, which was laughed at for everyone. One day a member of the group called him and asked him if he had not yet realized that most currency was worth less. I know, I replied the fool. "It is worth five times less, but the day I choose the other, the game ends and I will not make my money." One can draw several conclusions from this little narrative. The first: Who looks stupid, it is not always. The second: What were the true idiots of history? Third: If you are greedy, you end up spoiling their source of income. But the most interesting conclusion is: The realization that we can be good, even when others do not have a good opinion about us. So what matters is not what they think of us, but rather, who we really are. The greatest pleasure of an intelligent man is playing the fool on a fool who plays the smart !!!
