Day and Night: 15 – 15

N- What’s good Day?

…What do you want, Night? – D

N- What’s up with that attitude of yours?

Are you physically competent enough to even conceive the idea that I may be in a bad mood? – D

N – So…that means you’re up for a game of verbal tennis right?

Would you play if I included a new rule into our game? – D

N – You think your new rule will give you the advantage to break our tie of 15-15?

Shall we see who can last the longest without using any negative interrogative words when answering questions? – D

N – In what way would that be more difficult for  me since you are the one in the shitty mood?

Playing this game to see who will come out on top is the point of this match, right?  If that’s the case, then why is the one who is embodied as negativity hesitating? – D

N – Since you seem to be a bit lively with the tongue today, maybe I should start by prying into what has you upset?  Are you perturbed at the fact  that things right now are going in another direction than what you anticipated at every decision that you make?

Why would I be upset over uncontrollable things such as those? – D

N – …Do you believe in the phrase, “What-ifs only happen in the future, not in the past”?

Are you insinuating that I am worrying over things in the past that I have no control over? – D

N – Would you be this upset if you were worrying about future what-ifs?

What do you think? – D

N – As for me, being the pessimist that I am, why would I care so much if I knew that I was already fucked with having next to no control over the things I was worried about?  Essentially, why give a fuck?

What about hope? Is there any reason for giving up on it?  Does hope have to be rational? – D

N – Is the audacity of your hope, which can basically interpreted as  grasping at random straws that lead to nowhere, THAT appealing to you to allow yourself to experience repeated let downs at every given moment?

Why does hope have to be portrayed as something asinine by you? – D

N – Would one be called intelligent if they were stuck in a place with no food or money, random bouts of loneliness, missing valuable items, and only two months remaining until we are ejected from this “dream” that we’re living in without just accepting that this is how things are meant to be?  Why try if things are meant to be this way?

…those are questions that I can’t answer right now… – D

N – And that is why I’m now winning this match 30-15.

Mentally drained, blank, wavering optimism = Day

Anger, sadness, rage, disappointment, regret, unyielding 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…

However…

At this time…

It seems as though Night’s shadow is overcasting Day’s brilliance.

With the score at 30-15, who will come out on top?

Why should there even be a winner?
