student: Sorry I didn’t practise again. I don’t know why because I really planned to but didn’t. What’s wrong with me?
music teacher: You can’t help it.
student: You lie to yourself too?
music teacher: It’s the human condition.
student: Like a political party spewing rhetoric about their moral values becoming silent if their president acts above the law when implicated by his lawyer or campaign manager or many mistress’s?
music teacher: Couldn’t have put it better.
student: You think the same thing is inside each of us?
music teacher: Right, a hypocritical party in power inside you even a hypocritical president. “I’m going to practise this week, it’s gonna be the best practising ever. I am a genius practiser.”
student: Could there be a revolutionary movement inside me trying to overthrow the president?
music teacher: Sure, but who is the you that wants a revolution vs. the you that is the corrupt president vs. the you talking with me right now?
student: Like which one is the most for real.
music teacher: Is any.
student: How does this help me practise?
music teacher: You already know how to practise.
