The Convivial Gist

Yesterday I had an interesting discourse with my TB (talk buddy).  A talk buddy is someone who I engaged in conversation by a telephone regularly, come tornado warning or the call of a child wanting to practice his newly acquired efficiency on using a toilet.  She told me that the opposite of love is not hate but apathy.  And she's right. The feeling of  hate  evokes strong emotions, it can still stir up feelings. But when you are dispassionate to someone, you just don't freakin' care if that someone was  trampled over by 27 elephants or suffered the most virulent  diarrhea on his/her wedding day.  Total indifference, that is painful , of course being under the elephant and having the runs are exhausting too.  Which would you choose? There is so much indifference in this world, it seems we just stopped caring or maybe we are suffering from the I Me and Myself  syndrome often.

Society in general set up criteria on which we as members are defined.

Waking up early and not going to work at all kinda' puts me in an emotional olio, excited, sad , lazy, clueless.  I decided to walk around the neighborhood, cool wind lashing at me. After half an hour, decided to go to the strip mall, which was a very good decision, havent got a cent in me, the probability of purchasing anything is zero. Look around and found a floating frame which I decided to get  done before the weekend.  This is a good idea for a housewarming gift for my friend.  Will post the finished product later .
