Agree to disagree

Reinout suggested we’d go out for dinner last night. Albeit the many good restaurants Haarlem has to offer, we have found our favourite – Stempels. For some reason which I’m yet to fully comprehend, the place brings out the best, or perhaps the worst in us. It’s the restaurants were we argue, debate, an in some cases leave to cool off. The wine list is comprehensive, which has resulted in us getting drunk on more than a few occasions. Always with a baby and in some cases an adolescent in tow. They know us by now, and stash us away close to the exit, in case any of us are planning a sortie.

Last night was no different, and withing minutes we were engrossed in a discussion about crime and repercussion. Reinout has very much an eye for an eye mentality in which we greatly differ. We’ve had these discussions before, where he comes up with all kinds of hypothetical situations to prove his point. And yet my opinion remained untouched. After a lengthy debate with no one prepared to give in, we agreed to disagree. Or at least I did. Because Reinout would never do such a thing. It spells compromise, a word utterly redundant and superfluous in his opinion.
