I hate it when I am inarticulate in Important Conversations, don't get my meaning across, and - worse - end up (probably) getting quite a different meaning across than what I'd meant.

Then come away from conversation frustrated with not having been able to make Person believe, not really, what a magnificent human being he is.

I dunno. Speaking for myself, I believe that I would feel very uncomfortable being called a magnificent human being. Because I'm not. Perhaps he also is not a magnificent human being, and is frustrated that you can't see this.

Thinking a person wonderful does not equate to oblivion regarding their negative face[t]s.

Also, my most basic assumption about people is that they are inherently good, powerful beings. It's gotten me disappointed sometimes, but I am not willing to change approach. In the case of Person specifically, I will not be disappointed.

Oh, and -- I never once called him magnificent in the course of said Important Conversation.
