We all know that we can very easily engage in an argument with any person on different issues, on the slightest provocation. It is surprising to note that people mostly argue on unimportant and trivial issues. They are so ignorant and sometimes irrational. I have seen people losing out on a lot of good opportunities just because they started and carried on some useless and aimless arguments .They have even lost many useful friendships and relationships just because they picked an argument.
The shocking fact is, even educated persons are no exception to it. Why do people argue? Don’t they know to handle the situation in a better and amicable way?
Very often Man is generally an egoist. Even if a person understands that, he/she is wrong during an argument he/she will never admit to it and will carry on with the arguments. If you praise a person, he/she may remember it for a few years. If you argue with a person and win, she/he will remember it forever. He/she can be hurt deeply in an argument.
Arguments never give you anything good. You never get any benefit from any argument. Even if you appear to win in an argument you would have lost something out of it, probably the relationship with the person you are arguing with becomes deteriorated.
In my experience I have learned its better to avoid an argument. Sometimes we are pushed into some tricky situations where we have no alternative than to get drawn into an argument. In that case, try to make it short and to the point. Present the vital points from your point of view and see that you do not use words that might hurt others.
So, let us remember that arguments can never be of any real benefit. On the other hand, we stand to lose a lot both directly and indirectly.
Let us learn to avoid an argument as much as possible if we want to live wisely.
