Confucius and My School Mates

Ordinary minds talk about people. Average minds talk about events. Great minds talk about ideas. Confucius... I entirely agree. And I feel sad each time I meet my former classmates or schoolmates. They went on to acquire college degrees after I was expelled out of La Salle high school. This was some 60 years ago. Though I managed to enroll in the greatest of all universities - it is but a collection of books. I am happily still enrolled in that university today... Each time, however, I see my former classmates in public or meet them in a private gathering - they prove to me that they are more at ease and comfortable if we only easily talk about people and events... They feel rather sinful if not threatened when I try to talk to them about the power of ideas! Poch Suzara
