I love the video for
Drake’s Find Your Love.
The old ‘mentor’,
a man with the hero’s best interest at heart,
a knowledge of the community,
and vast experience,
tells the hero to leave
the drug dealer’s girl alone.
The mentor lays out
argument after argument.
The hero clearly isn’t listening.
As Drake states
‘you hear
but you don’t listen.’
Eventually the mentor stops talking
and the hero gets himself killed.
The best advice
is wasted if you don’t listen to it.
Heed or don’t heed advice
but, at the very least,
listen to it.
(So you can kick your own ass
for having ignored it later)
