I make it a point to never start a conversation that has no tangible benefit. If asked how my day is going, I try to put in a cheery ‘good enough’. If asked my opinion, no matter what it actually is, I will usually try to be agreeable rather than ‘wrong’. I give people the benefit of the doubt rather than the blame they likely deserve.
Some days are hard.
I’m sure it sounds like passive-aggressive bullshit, but it’s not.
It’s my laziness in action. I could talk and argue and debate, and then find out it was all for not. No one wants to hear about it. I could also just keep my mouth shut knowing that at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter.
I tell myself this.
