Arguments, equilibrium and silence

I started to think about arguments. How they pop up from seemingly nowhere, and disrupts our relations. They say arguments are essential for a relationship to flourish, and I can see the point of a disagreement once in a while turning into a minor dispute. Not quite dissimilar to the cold war, two polars are measuring up against eachother, whilst the equilibrium holds its position. But there are times when it sways, for better or worst…

I’m in the train with not too much time to write, yet I’ve been contemplating all morning on the use of arguments. When they start becoming a pattern, something to be expected rather than an incident, is it time to act? I also thought of what good it brings, and I can only think of silence.  After verbal bickering, mails, and skype messages, the two parties retreat in contemplation. This is the moment I most enjoy. I have time for myself, so I pick up my laptop, as I usually do. I do some much needed work and I write. I pen my thoughts, at first random and incoherent, but after a while they start making sense. Clusters of words string together, and becomes sentences and paragraphs. A start, perhaps. Like so many others. Yet every day is the start of the rest of your life. So don’t despair baby. Don’t despair.
