Sibling Talk

Why do people have discourses? I dunno, but I sure am going to ask my brother (the Discourse King) about it one day when I get myself untangled from our conversations. To be honest, it's kinda fun talking to my bro, and the multi-way conversation between the family usually tapers off to a dialogue between siblings. We would be the last two people taking differing positions on the same issue. (My family, with the exception of my dad sometimes, don't have much of an opinion on / could not really be bothered - much - with most things that irk me).

The state of national education, the Da Vinci Code, Prosperity Gospel... anything to the price of beans. Once we got started, it would heighten to a debate, which would least interest the family pet fish but nevertheless necessary coz as much as I hate to admit it, my bro has a logical mind (which I congenitally lack) that I hope would sharpen my deficiencies by regular contact.

Has it worked? I really don't know. But I do know that I am in awe logically-inclined people. Namely coz I am not one. But I think God is fair. My brother doesn't daydream that well, so his life has somewhat less hues than mine. Hah.
