good morning.
A few years ago, I was having a great day, no wait. I was having the best day doing absolutely nothing but laying around with my lady friend. Then BOOOOOM. Some dickhead decided to blow up the Boston Marathon. I can't sympathize with those people that were hurt by the blast; I've never experienced anything like that. I'm not trying to downplay the significance of such an event; I can only make sense of the world through my own eyes. In that sense, Patriots Day was a turning point in my life. I'm still deeply in love with the same woman, 5 years thanks for asking, but things have never been so good as they were before that terrible moment.

also, for fun, I made a list of ways to perpetuate arguments:
A Guide to Arguing by me.
someone expresses sadness? "Take the pity party elsewhere."
someone asks for help? either get mad or ignore them. For extra credit you can get mad and then ignore them.
someone has a legitimate concern? minimize their problems. Bonus points if you change the subject to your own problems after downplaying the concern.
someone is being reasonable? be unreasonable.
someone is angry? deny responsibility and maximize their faults.
someone says "you owe me an apology." say "I'm sorry you feel that way."
someone apologizes? say "whatever."
good luck and happy arguing.
peace.
