Why Do I Find Stupidity Amazing?

I have people in my life who try to deny aging.  Yet they are getting older.
I enjoy friends who have little or no savings for retirement.  Yet they persist in spending on transient stuff they don’t need. 
I am blest with acquaintances who drink to their detriment but deem it their right.  
I have managed employees who came late, ate breakfast after the work day began on “company time” and who wondered that their annual evaluations were never “exceeds expectations”.  

I know all the above, and yet I continue to be amazed at human stupidity.  

My question is:  why?  What is there in me that keeps expecting fellow humans to use basic good sense?  

Maybe I am starting to face my own stupidity.  What do you think?
