Not Fun Anymore

I was saying I’m hungry, just now in class, night class. She took it in and a few moments later, she asked ‘what are you gonna eat then?’

‘Bread,’ I answered, because that is what I planned on eating.

And then she came up with ‘Eating bread so late at night? Wouldn’t that make you fat??’

I’m not usually the kind to answer patiently. So I just said ‘No, it won’t’.

And still not giving up she said ‘ Yes, it would. That’s why you’re so big now’

Bloody hell.

I can see where this is going and decided to explain carefully about how metabolism is still running even at night and it take only 2 hours to digest and 4 hours for food to reach the small intestines and that 1 calorie is still 1 calorie of energy from food no matter what time you eat it. And get this, this is what she retorted,

‘But we asked my grandma’s nutritionist about that and she said that it’s not good because it will be stored in the body and that our organs will go to sleep when we sleep’

Shitass lame I tell you. And I tried explaining it again. And the ultimate line was,

‘I’d rather believe the nutritionist than you’

TIU.

Go believe all you want la. See, that’s the trouble when you try to make somebody understand what you are talking about. They’ve already established their own mindsets about certain things and will naturally think that you are wrong. Every single word you utter will not go through their thick skull. This situation brings me back to one thing.

IT’S ONLY FAIR THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO DISCUSS SOMETHING, YOU MUST OPEN YOUR MIND TO REASONING. OTHERWISE, IT IS CALLED GIVING A STATEMENT, NOT DISCUSSING.

TIU.

And if you, my two lovely readers, have any doubts, go google ‘eating at night’ and decide for yourself whether it’s bad for you or has no effect whatsoever.

I’m getting stupider. I want to be inspired, to talk to interesting people. Not trying to explain menial things like this and be shot back with ‘that’s why you’re so big now’.

I have rarely resorted to personal attacks when arguing with anybody because it doesn’t prove anything, it just drags the argument elsewhere. And I absolutely hate people who do it. How petty can you get, seriously?

My mind was ready to be changed when I started explaining to her. If she had any good points. But all she insisted was that I am wrong and that she had asked a nutritionist before. But I gave up reasoning when it looked like it was going nowhere. So I left her to her own thought. Because, honestly, I cannot argue with a potato.
