Roll with the punches in an ideal world

Post #3

Ive been in many arguments and seen many arguments. They normally consist of someone pointing out the other person's "initial flaw" whether it be about the other person himself (and i am going to stick to one gender for my pronouns because all those him/her' s would bug me and why i chose the male side, you probably know why. Yes sexist),his beliefs, his car, his drink, his girlfriend etc etc eht seh tah rah. And yes some people live for the thrill of insulting, and trying to win arguments. Thats why the world has lawyers. haha no but seriously, I am personally not a person who likes to get in arguments. In boxing they have a term called "rolling with the punches" which basically refers to letting the opponent hit you and punch you and beat on your face until the opponent gets tired and you look like your face is freaking retarded. But with deformed face and all, thats when you strike! When in arguments, i employ the "roll with the punches" technique. Sure I might come out of the argument with a hurt ego, lower self esteem,and maybe a few eating disorders or something, but i avoid arguments. A lot of people say, man david thats the wuss way out! and yea wusses do dislike arguing and fighting, but i take this point of view for a very different reason. I mean im sure i could take my mom in a fight, but i dont want to argue with her because out there in the world, everyone is arguing. Everyone is trying to represent their own beliefs and morals and ways of doing things, striving to prove they are right.AND as long as this is going on,not everyone will believe the same thing so initially we are stuck in this vicious circle of arguing about something forever and ever until the end of time. Why cant we just agree to disagree...? because its hard for people to swallow their own pride. And many people will argue that argument brings about change and all that good stuff, but who cares? If we were all content with each other, then we could all be relaxed yea? doesnt work out that way though, but thats my ideal world though... yes... i remember, im a sort of hybrid mixture of a lover and a pacifist, if they arent the same thing. and this post is getting kind of large and lame so, yea. Arguing helps you get your point across, but just cut it off at the source, dont be a person of conflict. just relax and get punched a couple times. it will hurt.

peace and much prsper,
