Are you constantly arguing with those around you?
How can you win the debate? Let's talk about that now.
[Autumn Asphodel]
Hi everyone! We are discussing how to win a debate against
someone you disagree with. If you're constantly arguing with
someone, and you know you are right and they are wrong, how
can you prove to them you are right and win the debate?
The answer to this question is not as simple as it seems.
Difference of opinion is a fact of life. We are all unique
individuals with unique lives and ideas. Even if we agree with
someone on almost everything, there could be one thing we
don't. It's not possible to agree with someone on
everything. After all, a difference of opinion is what
makes the world interesting. What would be so fascinating
about meeting people, learning about them and their life and
uniqueness, or even starting a conversation with others if we
all agree on everything and know what they would say?
Disagreements are a good thing, as they help bring important
topics into mainstream awareness to make change and laws.
Disagreements are meant to bring opposing views to your attention
so you can understand them better, learn, and dismiss them
if they don't apply to you, or accept them as new information.
Opposing views are also meant to help you realize the value of
connecting with those who have similar views as yours. There is
nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone, especially those
close to you, but how you project your ideas is what's
important. You will disagree with people and think you are
right. They will disagree with you and think they are right. It
doesn't really matter because no matter what, you won't be able
to change the other person's mind. If you go into a debate
with that intent, then you've lost the battle right away.
Rather, the point of a debate is to inform and educate, and let
others decide for themselves based on the information you
present them, if your view is more acceptable than their own.
Ultimately, this also comes down to cognitive dissonance. When
people hear something they disagree with, that questions
everything they knew on a topic, they tend to deny the
information presented, even if you have significant evidence.
The most important thing to remember is that you cannot
change anyone's beliefs. If they hold a belief strong enough,
no amount of factual information presented to them will make them
think otherwise. It's rare for people who hold a solid belief,
who have done extensive studying and thought a lot about the
topic, to change. Others who have a belief, but it's not
solid, may research more about the topic you both disagree on
and actually uncover information that may make them reconsider
their position. Some people may be irrational, rude, and
inconsiderate. It's common for people to insult one another
during a debate, which is pointless since it only shows
immaturity and doesn't solve anything. Those who insult and
belittle the opposing side are often not confident in their
beliefs and let their emotions get the best of them. They also
tend to be conceited, thinking they know the only way something
can be done. We all have our own biases, and we may view our own
work as superior to that of others, but it's simply our own
view and opinion. Some people you debate with will have an
arsenal of links and resources at their fingertips ready for
you to read to prove that you are wrong and they are right.
They link to the same resources time and time again, repeating
themselves, unable to have a conversation, and seem robotic.
You will often see this in very rigid minded people who cannot
think for themselves and rely on external sources, news, and
science to answer it for them. A confident person is able to
admit being wrong, without exception. Many times you'll
also find people who are calm and seem open for a debate, but
will attack the moment they perceive you as a threat to
their beliefs or feel attacked by you, even if you didn't
intend to come off that way. Furthermore, some may even be
rational and open to new ideas, but they will often use the
phrase, "I could be wrong, but I don't think I am." There is no
such thing as 'right' and 'wrong.' As society is growing,
'right' and 'wrong' are changing. Thus, the moment when
we think we have the answer is when we don't have an answer at
all. 'Right' and 'wrong' are merely perceptions that we have
developed due to influences imposed on us by society,
teachings, and our personal views. What we consider fact and
fiction is purely an illusion we have created for ourselves in
this world. One person's reality is another's fantasy. I'm sure
we've all heard the phrase 'agree to disagree.' This
essentially means that people who are in a disagreement, going
back and forth, getting nowhere, can agree on one thing, that
they disagree. Yet many people cannot do this, especially when
they have a belief in their mind that they are right and the
other person is wrong. It takes a confident and sensible person
to remain calm and to agree to disagree with someone else. It's
hard to do this, so be proud that you can walk away with
confidence even if the other person can't. When you stand up
for what you believe in, and vocalize your thoughts and
beliefs, it's inevitable that you will lose people close to
you. You will lose some of those closest to you so you can learn
and grow. You learn from what they've taught you, and you are
able to become independent on your own. For example, if you've
been silent about your religious beliefs for so long, and
disagree with everyone around you, if may be because you fear
that they would judge you. There's nothing more difficult
than having to hold back on something you know in your mind
to be true when everyone else around you has opposing views.
Despite how difficult it is, the moment you begin to speak up for
what you believe in is when things get easier. People will
be shocked, disappointed, or even angry, but you have to
speak up despite all this. Even your closest friends may be
disappointed with you and leave your life. If you lose people
close to you due to your beliefs, they are not meant to
be in your life. You will attract the right ones by being
honest. There is always a decline before a rapid surge of
growth. So, by speaking up and being honest about what you
believe in and not automatically going along with those around
you in order to please them, then you will get rid of the
people who are not meant to be there and begin the process of
attracting those who are meant to be there. Speaking from my
own experience, I've been much more vocal about my personal
beliefs over the past year, and of course certain people will
disagree. But, I admire the people who disagree and voice
their opinion, but don't get so angry and threaten me without
actually listening or doing their own research. I am
thankful you are able to understand that we all have
unique views in this life. That we can disagree and still be
close. I am also thankful for my friends that I disagree with
greatly. Even if we have opposing beliefs, we are still
able to be friends. People accuse me all the time of
spreading misinformation. Yet when I ask these very people
what information is wrong, almost none of them reply back.
Why could this be? It has to do with them disagreeing for the
sake of disagreeing. If they truly think that the information
is wrong, they would be able to indicate what is wrong. But they
can't because of cognitive dissonance. When I present the
information to them that goes against their beliefs, they
don't know how to respond. Of course, I don't claim to be
right about everything I discuss. But everything
I discuss is also publicly available information that
people can find for themselves. Whether or not that is true is a
debate in itself. I prefer people to find the answers
themselves since only they can determine what is true and
false. In conclusion, disagreements are meant to bring
change and uniqueness into the world. Without them, we'd all
have the same views and life would be dull. But, how
we project our ideas is what's important. When you think you
know it all is when you don't know anything. It's not possible
to force someone to view things your way, and getting angry and
insulting the other person is pointless. Rather, present the
information you feel is correct, and let others look at it and
come to their own conclusion. Only they can change their
personal beliefs. It's so important to share this
information any way you can. With censorship on the rise, it
will be buried and hidden and we must fight against that. However
you can support this cause will fight the censorship. If you
