Protestation...

Have you ever notice how people who are in the wrong often protest the loudest? When faced with cold fact and evidence it makes them angry, as if you have done them some personal harm. This sort of reaction makes me wonder about how the mind works and how much peoples personalities affect our actions.
Logically, if our argument is knockled down by truth and understanding - there can be no argument. With a relaxed temperament and cool head one might accept defeat. I have noticed that 9 out of 10 people can't hack it. they don't realise that it's over. Fact is Fact. I can be like this at times. When you KNOW something is a certain way, you just KNOW it...then someone shows you that you're wrong...it's not an easy thing to live with. My brain tells me: Oops, sorry about that but my pig-headed attitude some to the front and says: No. We're right. We KNOW we're right! They're wrong! Screw them! Telling me I'm wrong! I'm going to prove I'm right by shouting!
It's a strange thing. I used to do this a lot. I couldn't face the fact that I was wrong. Lately I've been more open to this concept. Taking a step back and doing the 'count to 10' thing your Mam always told you to do. I think I've been doing this because I simply can't be bothered with confrontation anymore. I try to accept my short-comings for what they are and realise they make me a stronger person if I'd only try to understand them.
I don't mean to change myself. Far from it! I actually LIKE me. A LOT! I don't mean to change others either. I think what I'm seeking to change is an idea. The idea that if you are wrong and the other person is right you can't accept it. The idea that if you believe in something so strongly it is irrefutible. I'm not seeking to belittle faith in any way either (I have a strong faith and that is what guides me), no matter what someone has faith in I think it is a great thing. Even if sometimes I didsagree with their Faith makes it no less true. This is the Joy of Faith. I am merely talking about when you're wrong in your opinion. Try to accept it and move on.
One thins I would never argue is belief in oneself. Confidence is something we all ahould have. There are many stigmas around the world which lead to people being bullied, tormented and hurt. We should know that the person isn't just what we perceive them to be. They are much more if we'd simply let them, encourage them.
I'm not sure what this is about in the end. I think your opinion of it matters. If you believe it strongly enough, leave a comment. Tell me what I mean!
