In a conversation with a retired professor who continues to read and write and who moved from the city to the village, he manifested himself by saying:" I hate being a garbage taker of others!". When I gave him the look,what do you mean? He simply added that when you share topics of scientific or academic interest with common people, they respond back saying: "Why bother? and keep thinking about the issue" or "Who cares!"...
The situation is depressing for the professor who seeks to live in a calm place for better opportunities to write but... there you go, you will be receiving people with a completely different interest.... away of anything that follows a system of thinking.
What do you say?
