One Hard Audience

So. Yeah. I couldn't just walk by these guys. I had to give a short philosophy talk. And of course I started with a funny story. That one guy just could not stop laughing. I love that guy. And, you know, I threw in some extra humor along the way just for him. He cracked me up. I hope I didn't do the same to him. Before I began, they had no expressions on their faces at all. But, believe it or not, I'd actually had tougher crowds. And the solution is always the same. You just pour out the love. You bring real wisdom. You have fun. Show the adventure. Be the joy. And even the old guys covered with moss eventually break out of their shells. Then, by the end, everybody's thinking, "Philosophy ROCKS!" And that's the stone cold truth.
