should i bite my tongue; argument edition

i mean, what are you trying to achieve here? do you want to be right? do you want to win? or do you want the person in front of you to feel those things about you in this moment?

because there’s a world that only those who have bit down against the strongest of their wills have tasted. everyone i want to be more like, those who seem to have this alluring mixture of leisure and patience in everything from their walk to their speech to their love, they’ve feasted there. and i’m trying to know it for myself.

it doesn’t make sense. but when you do do it, it’s not even that you get to be right about the thing you bit your tongue on. it watercolors into every part of your life. and you get more wins than the seconds your tongue endured.
