Angry? who’s making you angry?
-what, not who!
Ok, what’s making you angry?
-me…
You? So it is who, not what!
-no, it is what, what I am, what
I became, what me is all about!
You mean your failure, or shall I
say failures?
-thanks for the support!
Well, before giving you any
support, I need to understand, or may I say, diagnose the problem first.
-ya, you are right, my failures,
sssssss, is what making me angry.
Are you angry because of failing,
or because you failed?
-what do you mean?
I mean, ok, for example, let us
say your failure in achieving post graduate studies, lead you to the work you
are doing now, so failing is the studying part, and your failure is your
current job, income and life!
-I think it is the other way
round, failing is the outcome, failure is the studying part!
No, definitely not.. do not let
the grammar deceive you.. failing already happened, your failure is the continuous
outcome..
-no, the grammar is there to make
sense of words, the use of ing refers to continuous present!
Regardless, that is not the point
-sure, but how can I answer a
question if you can’t ask it?
Oh, you are just being pedantic..
-it is now my fault?
Well, I am trying to help, and
all you are concerned about is the grammar!
-I did not ask your help!
You did
-you asked me what’s wrong, and I
answered
I always ask you what’s wrong and
you always say: nothing
-and you are never happy with
that, are you?
Because clearly there is
something!
-yes there is, and when I try to tell
you all you want to talk about is the grammar
You are the one who brought the
grammar up, with your use of ING, like if I was in English class at the primary
school
-I was explaining to you the
proper use, because you asked me a question
And did you care to answer the
question, of course not
-I don’t know how to talk with
you anymore
Because you do not want to talk
to me anymore
-no, because whenever I am trying
to talk to you about anything we end up arguing about something else
Well you never say anything if I
do not ask, and when I ask you, you either say nothing, or lead the
conversation into an argument
-….
That’s what you are good at, silence
-if I talk I get shut up, and
when I shut up you get angry because I shut up
I never shut you up, and I am not
angry, you are angry
-no, I am not angry
You said you were angry, with
yourself, now we are both angry with you, or because of you
-......
….
-…
…
-do you want anything from the
kitchen?
