How often do we find ourselves
too preoccupied within our own little worlds to realize when something
truly momentous is happening outside of them? Are we paying enough attention
to those around us to really hear what they are saying?
In this extreme example,
a self-important individual, in all his pomp and finery, fails to realize
the heavenly nature of his visitor because he's not listening. in Latin,
the angel says, "I am dead." The man's response to this rather uncommon occurrence, "How do you like my clothes?" underscores how little he is paying
attention. The pear in the man's hand, one bite taken, bordering on the
over-ripe, is a reminder that we may not have all the time we think we
do to amend such failures in communication.
