There are two types of humans: those who are stupid and those who are not.
That's it. Period.
And I mean stupid the way God does:
Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid.
- Proverbs 12:1
My understanding is that the word translated as "stupid" here in English means someone who is "morally deficient." In other words, someone who is lacking in at least some core ways that affect everything that matters.
Sticking with the theme of "translated to English," almost no one "loves" discipline or correction. The idea is to value the importance of and therefore accept and implement it.
And here's why it matters: if you can't be corrected, you will always be part of the problem. And you won't even realize it.
And the kicker? If you can't be corrected, even God can't correct you. And if God can't correct you, you are NOT going to heaven. Period.
We are supposed to be in this -- all of it! -- together, and the stupid people REFUSE to get that.
