i was chatting with a self-proclaimed successful salesman the other day by accident. he was driving me away from somewhere i didn't want to be, towards a place i looked forward to leaving. as he drove i opened and closed my eyes involuntarily, being very tired from having worn a suit all day long. neither of us made eye contact, since he was driving and both of us preferred the scenery to the sight of each other. aside from large exits and towns, the scenery remained green and lush. trees, bushes, and grassiness abound. suddenly he said to me, presumably since there was no one else present, something like,
"it's amazing to think, one day this won't be here. it will all be developed and built upon."based on his phrasing and lack of emotional disclosure it was difficult to tell if this thought made him sad or excited. using the knowledge i had obtained about him from having spent the entire day together, i presumed he was happy about it. i did not respond or i might have said, "yeah," quietly, still looking out the window.
