How to Save Yourself from Pointless Debates
Most of the time, debates are pointless. Getting caught up in a discussion where neither party are willing to change their mind. I used to get really worked up when debating topics that I feel passionate about. Looking back, I have wasted countless hours, convinced no one and learn nothing new.
Now I just tell people that, "I do not know enough to comment". I saved myself hours of stress while staying calm. By not engaging with the person, they eventually leave me alone and find someone else who are willing to take part in their debates.
By not engaging, will I miss anything? The answer is yes, I know I am missing something. However, I value my calm and tranquillity more than anything else. I may not go to the grave as a wise person, but at least I try to go to the grave having to lived a calm life.
