How Hardheads Must Feel

Today I am going to imagine getting into the brain of a hard head. Someone who never changes their mind or entertains a new thought. This is fiction so be kind to me. This is what I have imagined they think: My mind is made up; it is hardening as I speak. Soon there will not be any “maybe” or “ifs” left. I am rapidly closing, hard and fast; tightly shutting down. I refuse to allow any information, facts or reverse thoughts to enter my brain. I am proud of my enthusiastic unwillingness to hear or see. I will not abide any new material or information in. My mind is made up, loud and clear; pleasing me greatly. Why don't I have any friends? Why don't the relatives return my phone calls? Why is everyone so mean to me?

I know of this person you speak! I am sure you must have met them to write so clearly about a hard head. Great verse.

I know them, I am related to them, I run from them.

Ah, I think you've hit the nail on the head, Caren. No one wants to be around someone who has already made up his/her mind about everything and leaves no room for logical discussion. I have learned to just move on and not give time to these kinds of folks. Every day, in every way, I am here to learn!!!!
