A brush with disappointment

It was not planned. I had not expected it. Today, I walked into a class full of unmotivated young boys and girls who were rude to the core. I asked that they accord themselves self-respect by conducting themselves appropriately. I should have known better. They didn't care . . . Most looked resigned and totally uninterested. Some thought by being defiant, they could somehow draw some meanings into their existence.

I was tempted to blow my top. Good thing I didn't.

Now, what could be bugging these spirited souls? Energy, they sure have a lot of . . . If only they could learn to channel it to doing the right things.
