LIFE FACT

One day you will be challenged to an argument.
You will know nothing about the subject being argued
but you will pretend to know absolutely everything.
 
Also you will care nothing about the subject being argued
but you will pretend it is immensely important.
 
Furthermore you will have no affinity whatsoever
for the person you are arguing with.
They will be, to you, a virtual stranger just passing through life
but this too will not matter.

You will argue with deep vigor,
face flushed and voice pitched
not wanting to give a single inch.
And that stranger will give back
just as good as he gets.

And when it’s finished
and the dust settles.
there will be no resolution.

Over the days that follow
you will think about this argument often
and wonder what you could have said or done
to have emerged victorious.

Years later
the only answer
that will come to you
is “nothing.”
