Faith and Feeling
“Sit down, Feeling. You’re gonna exhaust yourself.” Faith said, her eyes trained to the man walking back and forth. He’s never going to rest, just overthinking what he had to do. She was sitting on a chair, cross legged and a fan in hand. She was never the one to do those things Feeling was doing, it tires her.
“Sit down?! How can you sit down at a time like this?” Feeling replied at the amused looking woman. She irritates him, so much so that even when she smiles it hurts him physically sometimes. Instead of doing what she said he leaned on the nearest wall he could find facing her. She smiles too much. She has too much time in her hands. She is the most irritating person you could find.
“Now, rewind a little bit for me to catch up, will ya?” Faith stated, now looking at the leaned figure of Feeling.
“This is a trap.”
“An opportunity” Faith interrupted, earning a glare from Feeling. “ We should take the step, it’s a sign”
“No it’s not! It’s a trap to lure us into our destruction, why can’t you just simply see that?” Feeling argued.
“We need to trust in what we’ve done”
“We’ve done that and look at what happened last time.” That silenced Faith. The last time they took a step, it went horrible and both of them didn’t want it to repeat. Faith pursed her lips, eyeing Feeling for his next step. He pushed himself off the wall and walked towards her.
“Look, I know it’s hard sometimes but you need to accept the way things are because that is what’s keeping us alive.” Feeling reasoned. He is half glad that he could take her smile away for a second. And his other half was mad because she smiled as soon as he said those words.
“If we are just going to live by the rules of facts, then how are we supposed to know what risk is worth taking? Or which path is the shortcut to what we want? We could never see the future so, playing it safe will make us earn the same as others, won’t it? We would never achieve more. We’ll be stuck here” Feeling gave up on getting the idea into that thick skull of hers. She never accepts anything, does she?
He smiled leaning back on the wall. She is a fighter. Even though she loses most of the arguments, she never once backs down from what she believes is right.
“True, but the winner is the one chosen by them,” Feeling announced.
“Who?”
“The one reading this”
