Whatever happened to agreeing to disagree?
I’m really frustrated and I have a feeling I will be for the next 4 years. My frustration? People who can’t accept that others disagree with them and want to force them into their point of view. If I disagree with someone, I try to articulate my point of view and we can have a discussion but eventually if the disagreement continues you have to agree to disagree. I’m amazed at the amount of people these days who can’t do this simple thing that most of us were taught growing up. It seems some people just will never accept that you do not agree with them and think the more and more they come at you, that eventually you will come to their side of the argument. On the contrary, the more and more you come at me after it’s an obvious ideological divide, the more I will be irritated with you for not being able to recognize the impasse we have reached. Which in turn I feel reflects on your maturity level in that you can’t see that someone might think differently than you. That’s not to say you think I am right, but to think that no other points but yours have merit to anyone else is a very arrogant and egotistical viewpoint. Have I mentioned I can’t stand arrogance and large egos? ![]()
