There are several
morals to this story.
1) Be smart, but
not too smart.
2) Be ahead of the
curve, but not too far ahead of the curve. How can you tell the difference?
It's easy. When people start to resent you and your ideas, you're too far ahead
and it's time to back off. And if they threaten you, then you're way too far ahead of the curve.
3) Even stupid people know when someone is making them look
stupid in front of other people and they find that galling and may do away with
the person who is t-f-a-o-t-c in any number of sneaky ways.
For instance:
They might beat
the person to death and say he fell down.
They might fail to
call for timely help when it's urgently needed.
They might make a
mistake, say during an operation, which could prove fatal.
Or they might blow
his brains out with an exploding bullet when he's riding in a fancy car next to
his beautiful wife on a pleasant sunny day and then kill the man they said did
it so the case could be quickly closed and no one would ever know what really
happened.
So that's what can
happen to little boys who are too far ahead of the curve and make other people
look stupid and immensely annoy them.
And little girls, too.
