Why does everyone want to argue today?
Maybe it’s a way of maintaining mental toughness. It’s like with a litter of puppies, all nipping at each other and playing roughly.
I don't agree with you.
In fact, if you were here right now I would argue with you about it.
I'm repulsed by argumentative people and shy away from them, because (since I personally have evolved beyond believing arguments serve any purpose or accomplish anything), the only other choice is to argue with them.
No I never want to argue though I understand that makes me a sample of one only.
Three ideas.
As the world gets smaller and the information flow increases, ideas which were once far apart increasingly rub up against one another.
Sometimes wanting to help others can be misunderstood as an attack on their beliefs, especially when you want to help them towards understanding.
Some people want their beliefs attacked, because if they can defend them, then their self doubt is lessened.
I like a respectful discussion but when they get personal or start repeating their self I let them have the last word knowing they're not listening anyway.
