Generally sucks.
If you actually care
About the person you are about to
“Educate”
Pause and consider
If you actually know them,
Or have a sense of the world they inhabit.
Do you care enough
To listen before you pontificate
Your tried and true insights?
As you lay out your vision
For how their life should be going
Ask yourself- do you actually
See them?
See their fears and
Understand their needs?
If not, then maybe
You shouldn’t be surprised
When your cookie-cutter words
Are left untasted
On the plate.
