An hour before first class

Classes haven't yet started for the day. I'm walking down the hall and there's a 20-something long-haired guy sprawled out across the floor in the middle of the hallway.

He's breathing. That's a good sign.  He lifts his head as I get closer. Gives me a strange look as if to say "You're probably wondering what I'm doing here..." or "you probably think I'm weird", but doesn't even shift his position - which is completely blocking the hallway.   

Nope. Not at all. I step over him and continue to the bathroom.

A selection from the Taoist Writings:

"Lao-Tan asked Confucius: `What do you mean by benevolence and righteousness?'
Confucius said: `To be in one's inmost heart in kindly sympathy with all
things; to love all men and allow no selfish thoughts: this is the nature
of benevolence and righteousness.'"
