Worst thing that ever happened to me personally so far was the collapse of my marriage, didn’t discuss it at work but I would go out back between classes and weep. That year I thought I had a big red flashing “Train Wreck” sign over my head everywhere I went.
I was stunned the following year that, because I never discussed it, nobody realized anything different. My whole world falling apart and nobody could tell.
Made me realize we know Jack about what’s going on in the heads of those around us we see every day. So I resolved to talk less and listen more.
"...if the gentlemen of Virginia shall send us a dozen of their sons, we would take great care in their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them." Canasatego 1744
