A long time ago I had this friend that was, let’s just say, oh, always in search of a good disagreement. Which could be annoying, because sometimes you just want to say something without being challenged about whatever it is you’re talking about. Politics, religion, the economy.
Like that.
But that didn’t work with this person. They had the art of the argument down to a science. Well read, very inquisitive, and quick to point out any discrepancies in your critical thinking. Having any form of discussion with them kept me on my toes, that’s for sure.
My friend has long since moved away, but what I learned from having that person in my life has stuck with me to this day.
And that is, don’t say it........
