Would it do any good if you refuse to listen?

The teacher can give you answers about the world, but if you don't listen and refuse to respect them, will you learn and understand?

The priest can share good news and paths to salvation; if you don't believe and refuse to follow, would it do any good?

The prophet can warn about dangers, misguided ways that lead to destruction, and guide you toward prosperity and peace, but if you ignore what is good, are those warnings meaningless?

Are you more inclined to believe that you know better than the best teachers, holy priests, and prophets?

Or is it simply that you don't believe; therefore, you never seek or ask whether these answers have any truth or value?

Or are you more likely to believe the lies of aggressors who tell you what you want to hear and care little about what happens to you or your family?  

Would anything I say or do matter to those who do not respect, are not honorable or grateful for gifts of knowledge, connections, and light?
