Tone and Choice of Words

You thought she no longer touched you, no matter what her tone and choice of words would be, but you were wrong. Then it hit you that the insolence came about because of the discrepancy of you knew what. And a shudden ran through you. You wondered if you really should retire early. You should not be that stupid and altruistic.

You then had another thought about survival and real honesty about yourself. It's time to cast aside the farce and the folly and be really in touch with the real existential situation. You thought about silence, your current silence, and the insulting silence of a bloke whom you have friendily extended an invitation to join your club. You are not angry, not yet, just annoyed and perplexed for now. You are thinking of the necessity of prudence and moderation and of the ignorance, false pride, crudity of some animalistic humans and you are telling yourself that you should not be like them, even in anger. Your words must reflect your basic honesty in a dignified manner. You have expressed express contempt for sophistical cowards. Don't be like one of them. Respect truth and civility. You can continue showing contempt, but you must do so in a civil manner.
