we're all quick to judge whether one persons either smart or stupid, but is there really actually a line drawn between the two that makes it easy to see?

Actually, there is a line that is quite easy to discern. Stupidity manifests itself in a person's lack of ability to assimilate information and to use that information. This is the type that continues to make the same mistake over and over, not understanding what is wrong. An intelligent, or "smart" person assimilates data easily and is able to use that data to accomplish a chosen goal. To put ignorance in perspective, we are all ignorant to some extent about something, as the word simply means lack of knowledge. No one knows everything.

A simple example here. Let's say you are a doctor, and I am a dentist. Would it be smart or stupid for either one of us to do the others job? Apply that to anything in life. What you are good at, you're smart, what you haven't applied yourself to learning, you are stupid on that particular subject. You do have the capability of learning it, if you want to, which then proves you are not ignorant.

No. To you, a person maybe clever, to a person cleverer, the person maybe stupid. In actual fact, do we even understand what is the meaning of the words "stupid" and "clever"? In God's eye, all is stupid. We are all stupid in God's eye, but in others? We may all wonder why we, can be both clever, and stupid, the fact is, we are all so stupid to not know what is "stupid" and what is "clever". Why should we be judge? We all excel in different areas, so our judging will forever be different. Regardless of it being ourselves, or the others!

We are not all quick to judge. I like to get to know a person before judging them. And Some may be stupid when it comes to some things, but everyone knows something we don't know!

No.
We all have different views on what "stupid" is and what "smart" is.

Maybe a person is smart or stupid, what is it to you or me? Why at all judge? If you know better, do it your way when your chance comes.

stupid is getting involved in situations or answer stupidly
SMART is getting out of such situations or keep out of such acts or impress others that you are a smart person

Stupid is when you ask a stupid question like "what is stupid".
