Being a teacher, I always feel like it's my job to push the students to squeeze every possible bit of learning from any given situation. Sometimes I decide I'm going to extend that to everyone else I encounter in my life. Almost shockingly, this is not universally well received by the population at large. These people just don't understand the value of challenging their assumptions.
Today I was taking the train and so I stood by the edge of the platform and intently looked down the track in the wrong direction, for the sole purpose of helping people not take for granted what they assume to be true. Nobody thanked me and told me how good it was to have their minds freed from its closed state. They all just told me I was looking the wrong way and seemed perplexed when I replied, "I know."
