    There are programs. Take your faith out from the world and put it in something fulfilling. Are you ready to hear? This post was edited by O-uknow at February 27, 2017 9:55 PM MST

    Pray to Jehovah God in earnest and with faith. Make certain it is not a test of him but a genuine request from you. He will make a path but only you can decide to step up on it ;)

  • "No" ... there is definitely a place for "dumb" in our society.

    If you're smart enough to know you should give up, you're not all that dumb.

    But should you? yeah, probably.

  • Dear Mr. Bromide,

    Much appreciated Q, and the answer is...YES, definitely do give up if you are dumb.
    ...then, do give up also if you are smart...
    ...just buy out of the whole smart/dumb dichotomy, and find your own way...

    We are to take nothing personally.
    Least of all, ourselves.
    . . .
    Gather yourselves;
    Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and vocabulary..
    We are the ones we have been waiting for.

    Aww... Virginia, you are so kind.  :)  When I first read the question, I thought what might seem dumb to one person may not be dumb to another. It's a pretty big judgement call, especially if you add culture into the mix.  Granted, common sense should come into play and the obvious things that will endanger you or someone else should be avoided.  As a general rule, I say,  "How do you know, if you don't try?" and "There is never a dumb question." If you can, ask. :) :)

  • Or try rereading the question as the first phrase being a qualifier for the ability to answer the question.

    Hi ALF ~ I'm glad you came into this quick little chat :)  My second take on the question was, "But if you are dumb, you might not know you are dumb and ask the question anyway?"  I tried to leave all of this out because I tend to be long winded and am trying not to do this here. ( a little side note!)  Don's suggestion was, "I don't know.  I quit."  He doesn't speak up much.  When he does it normally has a bit of a bite to it.  It's his nature.
    Mr. Bromide, on the other hand, has asked some pretty good questions and no malfunction in his/her physical and mental brain has shown through.  In other words, they don't appear to have anything from stopping them in asking a realistically intelligent question.  I'm not getting how the dumb should not ask a question.  There is sign language, body language, etc. ways to communicate.  Speaking is not the only way.   Is he using dumb as an adjective and I using it as a verb?  Maybe I have my basic sentence structure wrong?? Good Lord, the written English language can be such a drag.  When you or Virginia have a second, please let me know.  I would appreciate it!  Thanks!

  • Every time I read this question I get a chuckle. I can't really tell if it's a really dumb question, or a brilliant one.
    Good question!

    Hi Lago ~ This is one of the reasons I chose not to answer.  I just thought I would sit back and read what everyone else wrote.   It is a great analogy on your behalf.  Is the good?  Or is the a test?  I got the giggles too :) :) This post was edited by Merlin at February 28, 2017 10:43 PM MST
