Day and Night: 15 – 0

D- You up, Night?

Why wouldn’t I be up?  Isn’t it night time already Day? -N

D- Remember the verbal tennis match?  Do you know what the score was?

Wasn’t it something like me winning and you losing at 15 -0? -N

D- Do you think you can score on me again?

Is that a challenge? – N

D- Has the though occurred to you that we may be playing already?

What would  you say if I told you that not only did I know we were playing, but that I’m also two steps ahead of you? -N

D- Do you think that anyone remembers the last match that we had?

Why didn’t you answer my last question? -N

D- Isn’t the object of the game to answer questions with questions?

Why waste time answering that question when I could just officially start the match by asking what’s on your mind? -N

D- Do you already have a preconceived idea of what’s on my mind?

Shouldn’t I since we are a part of the same whole? -N

D- Then you should know that the theme of ‘extremes’ is currently going around in there, right?

If I’m the part that reacts with anger, then would you be the part that doesn’t react at all? -N

D- Lashing out at those in anger like our father are we?

And you’re saying that it’s better than to not react at all? – N

D- Aren’t people afraid of you already because of your seemingly ‘angry’ disposition when out in public?

Does your inaction not translate into blatant disregard for all responsibility in the face of potentially uncomfortable situations? – N

D- So what you mean by your last statement is that your way of doing things will get rid of our unhappiness I presume?

What I’m asking to ask is have YOU done anything that has given us a right to deserve happiness? – N

D- Isn’t treating people with respect a reasonable justification for the expectancy albeit audacity of wanting to be treated with respect, which in turn leads to happiness?

Even if that’s true, what makes you think that you will get that respect?  Haven’t you realized that maybe we may have to settle on the things that we want even if we don’t want to in order to prevent the most unhappiness possible? – N

D- …What if I don’t have an answer to that?  Should we just give up trying?

What’s wrong with cutting our losses and waiting until we change environments again?  If people can’t see us the way we intend to be, then why waste the effort? – N

D- Do you want to live a life full of what-ifs and regrets, Night?

Hey, even though I fuck up all the time when interacting with people, why would that prompt you, the hypocrite, to even accuse me of not caring? – N

D- So what do you suggest we do?  You ready to give up what you want to achieve because life is bitch-slapping you every chance it gets?  You like being life’s bitch huh Night?

You known what?  Fuck you Day.  I’m tired of living in a place full of lies, half-truths, disrespect, broken trust and artificial personas packaged as my heaven away from hell.  Does that shit honestly not bother you Day?  People don’t even realize how good they have it and yet when we try to do good, we get shit.  So, what do YOU suggest we do Day? /N

D- Since patience and understanding of this caliber is something that we aren’t used to, why don’t we start off with that?  Even though I feel exactly the same as you do, what good is losing hope when we actually could return back to the hell we came from?  Besides, if you’re this easily provoked into making the score 15-15, how do you hope to win your future matches?

…touche Day.  And here I thought I was the bad side… – N

Concern, indecisiveness, confusion, unyielding optimism = Day

Sorrow, anger, worry, exhaustion, action, undesirable pessimism = Night

Neither side is right or wrong…neither have the right answer to their questions either.

Violently yet harmoniously, they fight; the existence of one without the other will only lead to destruction…

With the score at 15-15, who will be the winner?

Can there be a winner?
