Complaint of the Stupid.

It is only stupid people who complain
that they are misunderstood. If they
were not stupid, they would know that
there is absolutely no such thing as
being understood, and, therefore that
there is nothing whatsoever to be
gained by complaining about it.
Wise people who want to be UNDER
stood do not spend their time complains
ing, but in perfecting some means of
expressing themselves by which they
may reveal to the world about them
some slight remnant, at least, of their
souls, or their Kinds, or their ideas, or
their discoveries, or their eccentrici-
ties, or whatever 1t is they want to
make known.
When you complain about not being
understood, the only thing you make
clear is that you are complainant
