Real world........

The real world is a place where it's hard sometimes 

to find people who will listen with an attitude 

that they might actually be convinced of something,

Instead, what happens in most of the real world is 

that people don't listen at all.


They aren't looking to actually learn anything 

about you or about what you think. 

It's a place where people take sides 

rather than trying to understand - 

are they still on the right side? 


They care mostly about their side winning.
