Let's Talk (or shall we?)

Whats the use of saying something about an issue, which is just an argument in the air? About an issue which is not, in any way directly related to your life, or won't impact you in any way? Nor the people around you, who you're talking to...

What are you getting out of it? An ego boost, that you have an opinion about something? A kick that you feel you are right about something, and wanna prove it? A parade of the "interesting" way in which u think? Making A stand about something u are passionate about? If so, to what end?

Cos lets consider the negative side effects of indulging in such a conversation : it can turn into an argument...and in an argument, with ppl who u usually care about, things get bad (or worse? :)

And the next thing u know, sometimes, very few times, u've stopped listening...A point, a counter, a denial, another counter...And at the end, there's no outcome and there's this tension in the air, cos there's usually no resolution, neither side willing to give ground away...

I'm guilty of indulging in such wasted conversations, which serve no other purpose apart from vulgarly displaying the egotist in me, who I don't like to let out much...In the recent past. And it bothers me later, once I'm done with the conversation. Wasted energy, bad impressions.

Then again, u say something, the other side agrees and all's fine sometimes :)

STOP.
