This makes me feel simultaneously very good and very very bad.
How does it make you feel very good? Honest question - I'm a bit stoned
Oh I was born with a min-max build. While I am keenly aware of my deficits, I am also aware of my specific sharp intelligence. Mostly because I have to use and hone my specific intelligence to mitigate my disabilities to get over life hurdles.
It makes me feel good because, this means I have more of a chance in life than I believe I do. I should feel more grateful and more motivated. Which is maybe the only positive thing about such a terrible fact. That one in five people are illiterate.
I don’t like feeling I am above anyone however. I tend to greatly dislike like feelings of superiority, raw competition, or feelings driven by pure ego.
Ultimately, I was aiming for making an implied joke: haha wow i can absolutely read loool neat! Oh no, so many people can’t read….this is horrible…this is really really bad.
