Is This Really My Life??

The other day while I was mailing off some more of my blood earned money, I noticed something interesting. There was a crazy, homeless dude at the post office. He was just standing there at the counter and speaking. He looked disheveled yet dignified. His verbal content showed a higher level of cognition. It was almost as if he was giving a college level socioeconomic lecture. Nobody was there, yet out he spoke. His content was quite relevant. Yet nobody was listening.

This relates back to me. I talk a lot and teach my students; at least that is what it seems like. But they do not listen to me. It is like they just humor me or tolerate my presence in the room. This makes me wonder if I will one day be the guy standing somewhere delivering some lesson about something that folks cared not to hear about.

What do you think?
