I walked into a bar in Kilkenny yesterday, on High Street, and I asked the guy “are you showing the match?”
He said “what match?”
I said the All-Ireland football semi-final.
He said “who’s playing?”
I explained it was Kerry v Armagh today and Galway v Donegal tomorrow.
In fairness to him he said he would pull down the big screen and I got to see a great match between Kerry and Armagh.
But it struck me that what I see as important is unimportant in the eyes of others.
Kilkenny is hurling country and the value and importance of Gaelic football is low down the totem pole.
It is easy in our every day lives, and in our workplace, to take for granted what others view as important and of value.
