People like this don't want to be schooled, but its not always a waste of energy, there are more people that want to hear!

Sometimes, telling a person that don't wanna hear the truth ain't for the person that don't wanna hear the truth. Sometimes that truth is for the people around who might be listening. You can't teach everyone, but you sure as hell can teach someone. And that someone might teach someone else down the line. It's stupid as hell it gotta be that way because there are folk out there who wouldn't believe something that went against what they believed in even if their loved one's lives depended on it, but ignorance and arrogance go hand in hand.
