“You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.”
Boy was THAT what I was married to for 30 years.
I am not a fighter, I back away from fights. I don’t start them, and I don’t like to be pulled into them – which mostly makes the person fighting with you try even harder.
I don’t like arguments because . . . really? Who wins? Give me a sports event, and yes, there is eventually a winner and therefore, a loser. But in my opinion, in any kind of an argument, you rarely change the other person’s opinion or point of view, so probably you don’t really win, the other person just quits, gives up (or gives in).
How civilized, to agree to disagree. The old saying “there’s two sides to every coin” can go along way here.
So the next time someone tries to draw you into a fruitless argument, just thank them for their opinion, and agree to disagree.
