I am dumb but not ignorant.
it's very sad to be aware of your own stupidity. I know a lot of people who as dumb as me. But they are ignorant of their situation.I wish I could join them so that I won't have to undertake the pain to be aware of my bad situation

Actually I often know what is happening, and what should I do. And I tried but failed.
I haven't found anything that I am good at

Well, since I don't know you, I'll assume, for the sake of argument, that you are as "stupid" as you say.
If you know plenty of people who are as dumb as you, and THEY don't realize their stupidity, then that must mean that you're one step ahead of them. Don't they say that the first step in any 12 step program is acknowledging that there's a problem?
So since you're smarter than these people, you can use this advantage in two different ways.
You can take advantage of them, and use them to make yourself feel superior. You can get them to do what you want, all the while hurting feelings and such.
Or you can try to be a guide to them. Love them like they were your little brothers and sisters. Don't get upset by their faults.
See, there's more to life than being smart or clever. Honesty and caring will get you to the same place, with alot less collateral damage.
Good luck and feel better!!!

I would rather be dumb than ignorant. At least if you are aware of your situation you can take action to help yourself. If you mean you lack education. Then take a course at school, that interests you.God has used the dumb, by the way, so ask God to help you improve yourself. Set little goals for yourself, so you see that you can succeed. Good luck and hope you have much success, with God's help you will.

have you ever thought that maybe you are ignorant what makes you think that stupidity is better than ignorance anyway there are many types of ignorance and even if you were not stupid you could still be ignorant, but only you can change that by getting informed by the Almighty God from his Word the Bible if you do not know what he says there you may very indeed be ignorant No Offence meant but the information is available to all and that means, you are included, so there is no reason to be ignorant or stupid! you can avail yourself of the Best type of wisdom there is in all the earth! That is by learning from it and using that knowledge that is how you can dispell both ignorance and stupidity

Don't blame the God for what had been happening to you, find out the cause why you admit that you are dumb. Purify your heart, once your heart is good everything will be fine.

What in the hell are you talking about? No matter what you think of yourself, THAT'S what you are going to be. If you keep telling yourself you're dumb, that's how you'll STAY the rest of your life. Snap out of it and quit feeling sorry for yourself. Self pity and degradation are the hights of ingnorance! YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE. Grow up.

I actually think you're better off when you realize your own situation. You can try to improve based on what you know. When people are ignorant of their weaknesses or flaws, they can't improve and be better people. Right?

My teacher once told me: "one who knows what he knows not is a wise man, one who knows not what he knows not is a fool". If you know that you're not smart, study harder, keep trying until you succeed. I think 50 cent (or some rapper) once said: "get rich or die trying". I say, be knowledgable or die trying. It's no life to wallow in self pity.

I don't like the term dumb. Study, and pray to God that your knowledge be increased, and it will.
