That attitude spells disaster. All good teachers have one thing in common, which is their ability to learn. All good preachers have one thing in common, which is their ability to listen. You want to be a good preacher and teacher, you must first know how to listen and learn. You want to teach math to public school kids, you must first know where they are coming from.
Necessity is the mother of invention, desperation the mother of education.
Which is the question most poor people are probably asking themselves. Or not really asking themselves because if they did, they would actually be saying that elections loom in their consciousness. You look at elections from their point of view and see if you too do not take a cynical attitude toward them. That is how elections are to the poor they are the time when their philandering spouse or lover comes home courting them and seeking their embrace, only to disappear again afterward like mist in the sun. At least if your spouse or lover were an overseas Filipino worker who had been working his or her ass off in Saudi, you would be more than willing to go lie in the hay, or in a motel bed.
