Yes, one would think, theoretically, that we should at least befriend the persons on our left and right hands in the high school classroom. However, when it becomes obvious that some conspiracy is afoot to exclude me from society so that they can sit back and laugh at me floundering about trying to fill in the blanks, a very intentional and deliberate plot on their part, I can only pray that I be excused from this onerous and undignified social duty which involves futile attempts to bestow unearned praises upon them. Thank you. Amen.
