As I reflect on the past two years, it is apparent that the vast majority of people do not have the time to get to know me a little–if at all. People only seek out others so far as to meet their needs and nothing more. My boss couldn’t tell you where I went to college. My coworkers misspell my name. Everyone is so wrapped up in their own little world that asking to be known by them is asking too much.
I get it. The life of the individual is simpler when it is free of social responsibility and obligation.
But something needs to change.
