Are they the most stupid people? Bududa many smart people are sad.

00:03:38--> 00:03:45

Sometimes it is a sad smartness that the cause of our sadness. Some of us are too intelligent to be happy.

Think about it. Who else is in or somebody who has seats that can give it? Someone who has more happiness? How can you expect that person to be done to make you happy, and some of us, we placed the all of our hope 150% on human beings to make us happy, yet when they disappoint us, we start feeling bad, it's your fault.
