Sometimes I feel misunderstood

The place we occupy in life makes us feel misunderstood in some situations, in my case I have been in various circumstances in which achieving a favorable goal is almost impossible, not because it is really difficult, but because the goal I want to achieve is not for me but for another group of people.

When we are teachers we set objectives to be met with our students, so that many of these objectives are met, we must find a way for students to unlearn, because in my case I try to set in them a meaningful learning, where they can learn from the mistakes made, where it does not matter so much the grade obtained, but what is really important is the knowledge obtained.

However, this message does not penetrate the students as I would really like, they really feel identified with learning the topics in a memorized way to get out of a certain evaluation and get the best grade, no matter if a few days later they do not know anything of what they learned. I have been struggling for years to try to instill in my students a learning philosophy that can last forever, but sometimes I feel that I am plowing in the sea, I look for a way for them to unlearn the old habits, but I see that this is like taking drugs from a drug addict.

In other areas of life I have wanted people to change for the better, but for that to happen many of them must change many of their habits and way of thinking, but I have noticed that people find it very difficult to change, all this makes that sometimes I see life from a perspective where things are easy to achieve, while for the rest of people it is difficult, and all because they are not willing to change.

The misunderstanding that I often feel is that if only many of the people I try to help would not see me as their enemy, but as the person who wants to change them for the better, maybe if only I could achieve that, I could stop feeling like a misunderstood man.
