F**k Arguing


I have problems explaining myself a lot of the times.


On Sun. Sept. 28th, I wrote a blog "Against Our Culture," which spoke about how I wanted to learn how to become a decent debater.

I may be able to explain myself well through writing and blogging.
But anyone who's probably listened to me try to explain things without a script will notice that I tend to struggle.

And you know what? I'm fine with that.

I don't want to be a decent debater. I don't want to practice arguing. I don't want to prove my point on the spot. Especially with words.

It just creates so much noise...
raises so much pride...so much inaction and so many contradictions.

Words are definitely a big part of society.
Everyone can talk. Everyone can know things.
Everyone can prove themselves through words.
Yay, we have a very witty and intelligent society.

But this is one society that I want to rebel from.

I don't want to know everything. I don't want to always speak eloquently. And even if I do, I don't want to show it off all the time. Every conversation I have with others shouldn't be a debate. It shouldn't be a competition. We should be working together. Not proving who knows better. But piggy backing in each other's ideas. That is growth. That is progression.

None of this, "You're wrong" piece of BS. None of this undermining BS. F**k that. People aren't stupid. By human nature, we can sense if someone's looking down on us. By human nature, we can sense if we have the upper hand. Maybe that's why many of us take advantage of it.

Not many seek to understand, but seek to be right.
WTF if up with that?!

Bottom line, I'm done arguing. I'm wrong, there I said it. You win. I hope that makes you feel better about yourself. But always being right will dwindle the friends you have, remember that. I know what's right in my heart. And one thing is to not have to persuade you. F**k arguing. Society relies wayyy too much on words and being right.

F**k that. I'm just gonna shut up and do my sh*t. You can ask questions and I'll give you answers but there's no way you're going to dissuade me or even bring me down.

That's all. Have a decent day.
