Disagreements
So i've been thinking about disagreements lately. i know.. i know.. what could have possibly tipped this off? i don't have time to take you on a journey into the deep and mysterious inner workings of my brain, that would take most of the next fifteen minutes. instead i'll try to paraphrase everything for you.i've always had friends i've disagreed with. always. it has never been different for me. but i tend to be quietly persuasive so though i start out with friends who disagree i often wind up with friends who either agree with me or at least claim to in order to shut me up. i have no idea what percentage of friends feels either way, and it doesn't really matter to me. we don't usually disagree on things like what medicine will save someones life or whether to hide upstairs or downstairs to escape a murderer so it rarely matters a whole lot if we come to a real agreement or it's just lip service. besides everyone knows you're supposed to go outside if a murderer is after you. upstairs just means you'll have to jump off a roof to escape. i guess you could hang drop to increase your chances of survival but really when you have the choice it's just better to be outside and on the ground to begin with.but i digress... some disagreements are important, they allow us to see a side of people that we don't see when things are peachy keen. they help us to shape our boundaries and give us the opportunity to clear the air afterwards, which can be good. sometimes the level of ire that's raised during a disagreement can turn into a separate and more important disagreement.

Very interesting, Darrius. I like the idea of your sneaky subversiveness...
ReplyDeleteNice, I like how you write about advice on running outside instead of up the stairs when a murderer is after you. Very informative.
