fight the good fight, by just not fighting

i'm tired of the fighting... divorcing couples, conflicting schedules, laziness, social neediness... in the end, lots of fighting.

and all these people are so important (in their own minds) that they have to fight because they KNOW they are right!

now, i'm not saying people have to agree, in fact, i think a good debate is the reason the USA is the best place on the planet. being able to argue different points of an argument or opinion is a key to intellect... being able to do it without taking it personally is a sign of truly being an adult.

so disagree, debate it, give each other shit for it all day long... but then agree to disagree. sometimes you people take things so personally and get so childish about your poor injured ego that you dont realize how big an ass you're making of yourself.

and worse, some of you are so full of yourself that you can not imagine how everyone else is so rude as to think you could be wrong. what? really? everyone else is wrong? you are the ONLY person who's right? these people usually are the ones who just avoid, selling the story that they are better than lowering themselves to those who disagree. they run from the fight claiming maturity and wisdom, when in reality, they're unable to smile and agree to disagree, so they flee.

my, aren't you a find?

either you are so immature that your fragile ego can't handle it, or you're crazy.

what's wrong with you that you're so emotional that you can't laugh at yourself, let go of other people's views as their problem, and just get along.

boo hoo poor you. someday i hope i can be so intelligent and secure with myself that i need to fight or flee.

and people wonder why i'm single.
