Often, there are arguments you have with your friends that cannot be mediated through simple round table discussion. These intense, heartfelt discussions that rip down to our core levels of humanity and force us to engage in critical thinking seminars lead us to a place of immense pleasure at the end of them, often accomplishing nothing, yet accomplishing everything at the very same time. They tear friendships down, all the while building them back up to a place even higher than before to places not yet reached prior to having these discussions. Whether it be politics, morals, virtues, entertainment, or the threats monogamous relationships have on our self-preservation of character and personality, there are a billion topics that we connect on a deep level through vigorous discussion with those closest to us to bring us to a indestructible bond. From these hard hitting sessions of intense climaxes, the bond of friendship is truly formed. And this bond, you might say, is as strong as boron carbide. Nonetheless, the discussion reminiscent of those intellectual topics today is around pencils. These are the top 5 pencisl, no debate allowed:
- John Wick’s Pencil:
- Baba Yoda: The Ghost Writer thats what they called John Wick or something like that.
- Ticonderoga
- That one pencil we all had as a kid that we did not lose that we were able to sharpen all the way down to the eraser
- Penicillin
- I dont think there are 5 pencils
That settles it. If you ever find yourself on a Friday night growing incredibly close to your friends through this heated debate of the top 5 pencils, I ask that if you do utilize this emotional, impactful article that took me years to research and present upon, that you at least win the argument through the stomp out of your close friend, in which you then follow them up to their room, knock softly, ask “anyone home?” in a soft manner, give a Jim Halpert smirk to them, and then offer them a nice, cold Rolling Rock in which your friendship will then be set for eternity, just as Aristotle would have wanted.
