Respecting arguments

Arguments are supposed to be the genesis of sour relationships. But I feel otherwise. Of late, I have been rude to many people and I acknowledge that. Sometime, I have even argued on issues where I could have gone on the softer way favouring others' viewpoint to make them happy with nothing to loose at my end. Yet, I stuck to my guns holding on to mine, which were diametrically opposite to theirs'.

But am I really wrong? "Yes" - would be the inevitable far cry. But think once again with my perspective: I have always believed that viewpoints, yours or mine, are supposed to be and should not be binding, and independent of others' notions.

I live and stick to a certain philosophy whereby, my participation or not doing so should not be articulated as a naive behaviour. It is more of an expression and extension of existence, which I expect should command respect from others. Opinions of everyone, for that matter, (including me) should be treated so with a right to disagree as well.

When doing something could be right, one should also respect the "other" stance because that evolves a conversation taking relationship forward. It is similar to the evergreen argument of whether Almighty God exists or not. Believing that He doesn't essentially means that there is an opinion on Him. He, thus, is a reason to on with ...

So having an argument is not bad; the method of going about it makes for one. A person when realistically argues is more respectful as he or she comes clean about their thoughts. In doing so they agree to disagree. So next time you agree on to something expect a disagreement because that might give you enough reasoning and power to believe that you are true. Arguments thus will lead to source of information about that person, as he/she opens up showing his/her true attributes least known about. Discuss over, but don't argue. If the other person wins the argument, you know, there is a fair share of you in his/her win. So, win the way other person wants it to be and live happily.
