Not Listening, Not Listening, Lah Lah Lah

What do you do when you tell someone something and they don't hear you? Do you shout louder, or give up talking to them? You can lose your voice shouting.

What do you when they are rude to you all the time? Listen carefully, or ignore it?

What do you do when they tell you what already know about how you should be, but they don't do it themselves? Is it worth listening to them?

When they tell you all your faults, should you tell them theirs, in the hope they can hear you?

When they tell you that they know best, but what they tell you is false, how do you behave? Search for the truth?

What do you do when you are fully alive in one place, and half-dead in another? Avoid the whited sepulchre?
