Even the rebels were sitting having coffee at the corner cafe.

You would have to know that they were rebels, guns were not on display and they did not wear camouflage. No clues. Just dangerous coffee drinkers.

Things we think of as simple pleasures may be universal. The homemakers share the habits of insurgents. Up to a point.

If you are after safety, perhaps owning a corner cafe might work. Or would it increase the odds, you’d be exposed to all factions?

Some teenagers in highly civilized, calm countries, are considered to be rebels.

Who were you thinking of?

The opening lines. Standing in a line. Waiting.

Expectations can be primed and steered by the opening line.

Generally those first words tell us whether to carry on reading, continue to listen, or at least wait for the second sentence.

But in conversation natural is best. Contrived pre-prepared opening gambits seem good beforehand, but the opportunity to use them in a flowing way rarely occurs.

Everything benefits from spontaneity, every moment.

No harm in some “rehearsed spontaneity” to get you started. But it must come from you.
