Get Inspired ! Chiugo Akaolisa - Fight the Good Fight

I am a classic avoider which means I run away from all forms of futile arguments that can lead to fights. When I can’t help it, I try my best to avoid low-blows. I have seen the damage it does to people’s morale so I’m not a fan of it. I am also not a fan of keeping people who do it around me, it may be infectious. Who knows?That being said, I have heard that there is nothing more exhilarating (short term) than winning a futile argument. You know, that amazing feeling when you get the last word in and the person you are arguing with slowly backs away, succumbs to your line of reasoning or even apologizes.

People who love to fight live for this feeling and most stop at nothing to achieve this.

This is usually fair when the person you are arguing with is clearly wrong and willing to admit it but where problems usually develop is when there is a moral grey area; that awkward spot where both parties have a valid point. No one wants to surrender: no victor, no vanquished.

When this type of situation presents itself, the devil creeps in and advises you to bring out your loaded gun and aim for all the weak points and past mistakes of your nemesis, with the hope of making your point and declaring victory. You wait for that perfect moment to let out all you have been holding in and usually it cannot be taken back.

Stop! Don’t do it!

This is the number one killer of most relationships and friendships.
