Sometimes we can become prideful and want to be right all the time, so we argue not to find answers but instead we argue to beat our opponent.
If we win and we out-talked our opponent we can think that we are clever because the other person did not come out looking best - even if they were right and we are wrong.
The loss to all is that the answer was not found from two intelligent minds, instead
an immature mind's ego was boosted.
If you feel that you are arguing for the sake of arguing then it is wise to stop talking and listen more.
Tell yourself that an answer needs to be found and that is why the people are debating, arguing, communicating.
Please be productive in the conversation and put in your input and then step back and let others have their say, together you can all solve the problems that need sorting out come up with good ideas and walk away with everyone feeling good about the communication between you all.
The answer/s is always more important to all than one person's ego.
I have talked with people who “need to be right all the time for their ego” and when I discover that this is the case most times I just walk away from the debate, argument, communication because there is nothing that a person can say to such a person that will solve the problem, because all they really want to hear is that they are always right and they want you to give in whatever it costs.
I have reached a stage in maturity where I have no desire (or need) to waste my time debating with impossible people, this is a good practice for us all, it saves us stress and pointless hassles.
By all means if you have something to contribute to the conversation do so, but as they say, “Don’t throw pearls to swine.” Meaning that pigs will trample the pearls into the mud not knowing their value and beauty.
Narcissistic, egotistical people will argue and argue, and if you give them pearls
of information to solve the problem they will just trample them in worthless debate
and conversations, let them be and find people who will listen, then things will
get done.
Please don’t be that person debating and arguing for your ego sake, give up the need to be right all the time.
Don’t be that girl/guy!
“He who establishes his argument by noise and command, shows that his reason is weak.” - Michel de Montaigne.
“The more a person needs to be right, the less certain he is.” - Meir Ezra.
Immature people always want to win an argument, even at the cost of a relationship.
Mature people know which battles are worth fighting for and which ones are best to let go of.
