Honestly, passivity works for me. Even when I think something is dumb, I still either do it or just let it go. The only time I actually fight for something is when I believe enough in it to step on someone else’s toes. Otherwise it’s completely rude to start fights with people just because you don’t like something they said. Last time I checked I wasn’t 9 years old wanting a lion cake for my birthday anymore. Sometimes people just have to let things go. I can understand why people would find debating fun, because of the whole sport-type aspect, but other than that it’s immature and ridiculous. Honestly, I might just be saying this because I stink at debating things I really don’t feel that strongly about, but at the same time, I also just have a hard time getting my point accross. Typically, I get shut down during fights, because I really don’t care enough to cause a dumb, worthless conflict to fight back. I only fight back when it’s worth putting energy into it. I grew up with an incredibly stubborn dad that stopped playing tic-tac-toe with me when i was 5 because I beat him. Sorry that I don’t want to be that person. I learn from the times other people make me feel inferior to them and CHOOSE to not do that to others. I’ve gotten into this cycle, and therefore end up not fighting back most of the time because it’s really not worth causing an arguement. I believe that everybody is entitled to their own opinion, and if they disagree with me WHO CARES? It’s a free country… I’m happy to give my opnion, but I’m not going to fight yours. I disagree with people all of the time and sometimes tell them, but then usually follow it up with “but that’s just my opinion”. It’s a weird automatic response that I say because I really don’t want to belittle people or make them feel like they have to agree with me. I’m not planning on running for president, so therefore I don’t need the entire world to see my opinion. Compromise is one of my favorite things. This also seems to be a curse in society’s eyes because people always want final decisions, but don’t realize how much of a friggin grey area everything is. There’s no way to make things a yes or no answer ALL OF THE TIME. While it is necessary to make a solid decision, that’s when people make them. Probably the most interesting thing about the Constitution and many laws, is that they are written as a solid rule, but there is still so much wiggle room because of the different interpretations of the law. Which brings up another point: how can lawyers defend guilty people? Honestly I have no idea. More about money than morals? who the hell knows? I can understand when a client seems innocent, but in cases where people are guilty and lawyers are supposed to work their hardest to win the case for them? How does that work? At one point when I was little, I wanted to be a lawyer and eventually a judge. Couple months later I was trying to figure out what kind of crazy pills made me want to do that? Especially since: I hate arguing, I don’t like history very much, and the fact that I realized that if I wanted to be successful I’d probably have to defend people I really didn’t want to.
