I expect people will never stop to amaze me (To be
honest, I don’t expect them to and if this ever happens, it’ll surely be a
warning sign).
It’s fascinating how some traits get combined in one
person. Theoretically, everything is supposed to be possible when it comes to
human mind, but when you see it in real life… I never gave much thought to it,
but an encounter with one person made me wonder.
How can a person who acts as a representative of a
truly valuable campaign, who started travelling the world more than 20 years
ago and who has an exceptional story to tell people be at the same time unbelievably
limited, unwilling to learn and at times very self-absorbed?
How can a person who has more than enough time to
spare be unable to reach even basic proficiency at language that he clearly
needs?
How can a person who travels the world limit his or
her discussions about different countries and places to food that they hated
here and there?
How can a person who inspires other people to believe
in the cause be so uninteresting and unimaginative in their day-to-day life?
How can a person with such rich personal history be so
narrow-minded, non-inquisitive and believe in all the clichés that exist in the
world without pausing to think about them?
I expect there are a lot more “how’s” that I can come
up. And perhaps it is me who should be called narrow-minded because I cannot comprehend
the possibility of such drastic contradictions in one’s personality. But here it
is - the thing I do not understand.
