I ran into the ex-boyfriend of my friend Kung Fu Guy on the MRT train. They had just broken up. He had broken the heart of my friend. He'd left him

True. it's all personal choice, man. i was gonna conclude it for you, but you got there anyway. though for me, there need not be any particular reason to break up, even that dreaded f word. it can be all of a cloud. maybe it's just evolution of the spirit, or choosing not to.

what?! there's got to be a reason. or reasons. or a cloud of reasons. you can't just abandon someone without leaving them something to hold on to. that's cruel. if you leave without reason, you're probably just too lazy to figure it out for yourself and/or too selfish to explain. either way, that's shitty, man.

maybe freedom sounds like a better reason than i got tired being with you.

[dalumat]

yeah but at least the latter's more honest. if you're going to be an asshole, own up to it.

[bodiddley]

yeah that should be right.
