Contrary to what I (you) think, most other people are just as smart as me (you), their opinions and behavior that I (you) think are stupid are based on their personal life events and experiences, instead of labeling them "morons" it's better for me (you) to try to understand where they come from and why they think and act the way they do.

Also: if I don't realise how stupid I was yesterday, that means I still am today.
