A guest speaker was addressing the faculty and the students in the college auditorium. I had joined the faculty the year before, and was already drawing attention. I was 27, full of assumptions about myself, quick with a comment on everything, and expected people to pay attention to all that I had said.
I listened to the talk for the first five minutes. By the seventh, I was looking around to check if others were listening. By the tenth, I had glanced at my watch three times, and yawned once. After twenty minutes I was thoroughly bored, and telling myself that it was difficult to sit through such an insipid talk.
I wanted to share some of my expert comments with my neighbour. But he was completely sold out to the speaker and looked liked it was the greatest day of his life. I was disgusted. I tried to catch a word or phrase from the talk, only to convince myself that his should be his last talk ever.
The one-hour talk took ages to end and before the thanks were said, I jumped to my feet with a sigh of relief. My neighbour smiled at me and said, "The talk was wonderful, wasn't it?" I retorted, "it almost killed me with kindness."
