The time of stupid people

“It will take millions of lives for stupid people to be born smart," an old forest monk told me.
"I don't have that much time," I replied.
"Stop thinking about time."
That night, in a kind of kuti, or monk's cell, that the old man had built next to his own, I continued to think. About time and about stupid people. Time that passes and that seems to have become the time of stupid people.
I concluded that the old monk was right: let time pass without thinking about it. And without thinking about stupid people (which is getting increasingly difficult).

I have started working on a short story, maybe a book, on forest monks. Which at least partly explains my long absence from this blog.
