My wife and I just had a discussion of the cat’s intelligence, or lack thereof. It was initiated because she could hear the cat making a noise that she interpreted as wanting to come in. I did not argue with that level of smarts. We eventually figured out which door needed to be opened. I was informed that the cat was smart.
A thought occurred to me that I cannot share in this house. I realized that I think the cat is stupid because I compare it to myself. That is as far as I will go even in print. I will leave it to you to figure out the rest.
So often in life our opinion of others is rooted in our opinion of ourselves.
