If people choose the person they love, they should also choose the people they argue with. I have my own ideals when it comes to those whom I fight with. Because there are those which, if you argue with but are not on the same level as you, are worth "breaking up" with.
I love a person who is good in arguments. Yes, I can even love my enemies. There are people who know the right words to counter attack my words. Those are the people I like. Those whom I argue with but at the same time has a point. I got my own point and, possibly, the enemy got one, too. And even if there isn't any, at least, at the end, one agrees to be (or at least) defeated. I fight at my mightiest, as long as it's a logical argument and in context, but when I know that my point is not as better as the one I am arguing with, I stop.
I know when to stop.
But what I really hate are those people who argue with me for the sake of just arguing---not for the sake of getting his or her logical point across. I'm, talking about those people who go beyond context, who talk about something else that is not really relevant to the topic at hand.
Let's say, for example, that you two are arguing about why a guy does not deserve a trust because he is a user (sounds familiar? Nah, just popped into my mind *wink*.) And then, the one you are arguing with (Let's call this person, the opponent) suddenly starts telling you, "Well, your mother sucks!" or "GAY!" or "People do not like you, shut up!" or maybe, starts throwing things at you literally. What's the whole point of such lines in an argument? Yeah, just to piss us off. They resort to calling us names or talking about things that are not relevant to the argument at hand by attacking us just so they can think that they can win it.
But actually, no. It's the other way around. You see, if we argue in-context, we get the privilege of being a good fighter. But if we start doing things that are not related to what the argument is, that means that we are the LOSERS. Because when a person starts talking about other things, he or she knows that he cannot fire back anymore. This is the moment that the opponent chooses to kick inside the boxing ring. He or she knows he is losing, he needs to fire back with something illogical, unreasonable, and on topmost, naive.
But the question is, how do we respond. Do we stick our tongues out and put our thumbs on our heads as our fingers wave in the air? Do we pull our pants down and slap on our asses?
Now, I am not a violent person.. But once things get out of hand (like what the opponent does,) I think it's time for Plan V... Not plan B... Plan V.. Violence.
Just kidding. Not a right kind of piece of advice. But all I can say is, it's just me. It's just that when I get really pissed off due to illogical rants, I go totally ballistic.
The monster sleeps... But the monster inside awakens in time. So, do not dare summon it.
