Bad day; bad conversations

There are definitely days when I have less than ideal conversations with certain people. Bad day for them perhaps. I can’t help feeling affected by it, you know. It’s hardly constructive, nothing gets done, objectives aren’t met, no space for negotiation. The conversation ends.

Light-hearted conversations are somewhat more constructive. There’s more room for negotiation, everybody gets pleased and satisfied at the same time. It’s ideal - even if it means letting go a little.

If it’s so hard to meet up for what we used to engage in previously, then we shouldn’t meet up at all. There’s no longer time, compromise, and some kind of understanding. It was nice while we were still buddies, thanks.

Gah.

Everybody has their own ideals and they somewhat inflict theirs onto others.

Like how my dad will always drive above the speed limit until he reaches a speed camera. For him, that made sense and he took a calculated risk.

Likewise, I take calculated risks.

I don’t see running past ten in the night imposes any danger on my physical being or on my life, especially when the city lights are still on and the place isn’t entirely deserted yet. If it pleases others, I could run along the busy car-filled streets. I don’t see the point though.

Does degree of lateness equate to the level of danger? Going to work at nine in the morning is probably more dangerous than seven?

If not, you’ll probably be wiser suggesting a change in venue for my choice of sport than a change in time. Thank you.
