[QUOTE="Agent One, post: 66319, member: 560"] Well, it depends on why are you having an argument in the first place. What do you intend to gain from it? Better understanding of others? Test your own knowledge on the subject? Making progress of some sort? Or just simply curiosity and recreation? People go meandering sometimes because they discuss for the sake knowing the outcome and possible reaction to the subject, which sometimes [I]it is the intent behind the discourse[/I], depending on the person. It is useful? It is meaningful? It is simply enjoyable to bounce ideas between each other? You have to also distinguish between "Direct Information", the facts (The knowledge you're referring to, perhaps), and "Relative Information", the opinions, the personal matters. Conversations first to happen you have to be eager to talk as much as to listen, and even if an exchange takes place, it doesn't necessarly means that they will accept your perspective on the matter an adopt it as their own, and they even can deny the facts for this and the other. The best way to handle it? Just don't worry about it, conversations have to serve a purpouse, either to explore your own mind or the mental landscape of others, get answers. If there's nothing to it, possibly there's no debate to have? Choose your discourses. Besides, if you get upset about other reaction to your perspective or "what you know", maybe you shouldn't? Knowledge is as certain as the floor beneath your feet. Even if you see something that they cannot or refuse to acknowledge, you already are aware of it. Either if its worth to show others [I][B]that[/B][/I] or not, is up to you, but overall, it pays off to cultivate a non attached attitude for these moments. [/QUOTE]
