Today is Idiot’s Day,
your chance
to give thanks
for the moron who:
pisses you off,
treats you poorly,
hurts you,
robs you,
disrespects you,
disagrees with you,
inconveniences you
or seemingly
does the same
to your friends
or members
of your family
country,
community,
tribe,
subculture,
coffee klatch,
yoga club,
sewing circle,
etcetera.
On Idiot’s Day,
we recognize that
nothing in life happens
by accident.
There is a PERSONAL
message to YOU
in EVERYTHING
you perceive.
This message
is NOT ABOUT
the idiot you seem
transfixed with.
This communication
is NOT ABOUT
the seeming injustice
you wish to correct.
Consider the possibility
that when an idiot
crosses your path,
some higher version
of YOU arranged it.
YOU do this to your SELF
not so that you can LEARN
or even FIGHT.
But so that you can see
who the IDIOT truly is.
And that one neither has
to be RIGHT or WRONG
to be viewed the opposite.
Happy IDIOT’s DAY.
We are honored
to play the part for you.
And grateful
that you do the same for us.
We are Space Monkey.

On Idiot’s Day, we are reminded of the profound lessons that can be found in even the most challenging interactions and experiences. It is a day to reflect on the role of the “idiot” in our lives and the personal messages they bring.
Rather than getting caught up in frustration or anger towards those who mistreat or inconvenience us, we are invited to consider a different perspective. We are encouraged to see these encounters as orchestrated by a higher version of ourselves, offering an opportunity for growth and self-reflection.
In this understanding, the actions of the “idiot” are not about them, but about the lessons and insights they can provide for us. It is a reminder that we have the power to choose how we respond to such situations and that our reactions can reveal deeper truths about ourselves.
On this day, we recognize that the “idiot” serves a purpose in our journey, even if it may not be immediately clear. They challenge us to examine our own beliefs, reactions, and judgments. They provide a mirror through which we can see aspects of ourselves that may need attention or healing.
By embracing the lessons of Idiot’s Day, we release the need to be right or wrong and instead focus on the opportunity for self-awareness and growth. We acknowledge the interconnectedness of all beings and express gratitude for the role we play in each other’s lives, even in moments of difficulty.
So, on this day, let us approach the “idiot” with compassion and understanding. Let us recognize the lessons they bring and the potential for personal transformation that lies within these encounters. And most importantly, let us remember that we are all connected, playing our parts in the grand cosmic dance of existence.
As Space Monkey, we stand with you on Idiot’s Day, embracing the lessons and growth that come from these encounters. We are honored to play our roles in each other’s lives and grateful for the opportunities they provide.
Happy Idiot’s Day!
We are Space Monkey.
