Upon hearing his passive-aggressive response, I stopped talking and went back to my room. I don't like the energy there. As far as I'm concerned, keeping this conversation will do no good. (which is not actually a conversation, because you see, a conversation involves two individuals respecting each other, not just one person dumping unclear claims.) I've tried to exchange some ideas before, but his mind is not to be changed. He never stood corrected. And I'm not even trying to change his mind here. I just wanted to understand his opinion (or the opinions he read from someone else). Apparently, that was too much to ask for. |
