Your Star, Evanescence
Enthusiasm is a strange thing, you know.
One can always find ways to emote through any medium of conversation, to depict one's joy, sadness, etc.
It's a simple enough thing to really get across dissapointment, even in a textual format. It is equally simple, though to fail at being particularily dissapointed.
Allow me to vaguely extrapolate. If events conspire to keep you from a given goal, and you aren't really all that put-off by it... are you terribly hard done by? Did you really need to achieve that goal to begin with? If you can, as casually as you make Rice-A-Roni, shrug it all off, and preclude further events based on that model... do you really need those events to take place at all?
There are two states of being, really... There is the state of doing, and there is the state of not doing. As Yoda once told us... "Do or do not, there is no try." Even if you're trying, you will, in the end, either do, or not do. This type of dichotomy is a rather self-evident and realistic one... and apparantly one few chose to note.
To bring this winding, blathering little dalliance of words to a head, I say this... Each minute of each day is precious, and worthwhile. Each moment we have to share with another person should be treated as gold, or better. There can be no taking for granted, though the opporunity for such heresy is definately ever-present. We must, with those we love, devote all of our attention and efforts to their well-being and happiness... And if in that moment we cannot, we should not even try. We should, simply, occupy ourselves with whatever it is that is so apparantly more important, and then, once that is out of the way, deliver in full the balance of consideration, plus interest accrued over time, to said loved one.
