I was just musing on the reasons for arguments between people.
2 causes:
- Cannot verify/agree on facts and
- Pride - refusing to admit being wrong
Whats an argument for? at least for me its mostly been a way to find the honest truth and to present all facets of a proposition whether I’m right or not.
Things I depise in arguments:
- Lying to get an upperhand (because then facts would not be facts)
- Refusing to listen to blatently obvious and simple reason
I really believe most people are capable of stepping back and reflecting on themselves but they refuse to. Also, most of the time both parties have something to learn from each other and they never realise until they look back on hindsight. By that time they’ve already hurt each other and hopefully its not irrepairable.
Lastly, The Book gets the final say on the matter:
Jeremiah 17:9 (New King James Version)
9 “ The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
We’re never able to look at yourself objectively, so don’t kid ourselves.
