Dear @carlos84

I finally managed to put some time aside and catch up with previously bookmarked publications. Interesting choice of topic and solid read. Upvoted already :)

It is not possible to win an argument

This has been my favourite chapter. One that attracted my attention to this book. One that I've read more than once. Huge eye opener.
Even before reading this chapter, I already knew that trying to win argument doesn't bring me anywhere. I just used to give up. Right now I'm having little bit different view and my approach changed. And I do feel like it changed in right direction.

In order not to arrive at these terms we must avoid confrontation at all times, and under this scenario we can see demonstrated that when we start an argument it is already 'for a fact to give up.

I actually see it little bit differently. Avoiding won't get us far. We will end up having a confrontation sometimes. And instead of avoiding it - we shall stay calm and try to understand what is the cause of this confrontation. It's important to learn, that PEOPLE WANT TO BE HEARD AND UNDERSTOOD.

By avoiding confrontation - you're losing opportunity to hear out and understand this person. And surely you're losing opportunity to show that you're willing to listen.

Hate is never defeated by hate but by love

I rather like to believe, that ęhate is never defeated by hate but by understanding" :)

ps.
Out of curiousity: Are you still reading this book? Or did you finish already and you're just posting about it? (Im such a slow reader - I didn't even get to middle of it lol)

Stay safe buddy
Yours, Piotr
