    'Every stick has two ends'

    Usually with youngsters they hold one end of a stick and try to bludgeon to death any opposition.

    they do not see that holding the stick in the middle you can wiegh up equally both ends, and come to a wise outcome. Very similar to Hegels' Thesis vs antithesis - outcome synthesis, seeing the argument in a wholly new way.

    Also if you hold your 'Bo' in the middle you can hit your opposition with both ends lol

    Most of my argument's are about a persons logical thinking or philosophies. I rarely get into a argument caused by competition unless i am provoked, but a lot of people i know especially males have arguments mostly caused by competition or different outlooks on a subject.

    never in that way. I don't ever think I'm better than others however when I try to get my point across, they disagree and vice-versa: that's how most of my arguments are started.

    the majority for most people,this is why I rarely get into arguments I have no competive spirit.

    A good philosopher should seek the truth, always.

    But of course, it requires discipline and humility.
