Don’t Argue With Idiots! 1 minute of wisdom :)

Mar 15, 2014 Forestwood

How far would you go to prove a point? Have you climbed a mountain to convince the masses?

Don’t waste your time arguing with idiots, it could cost you your life.

Something to ponder about.

    Mine too: I particularly liked the world-weariness of the third wildebeest stepping in, and the on and on-ness of it all. 🙂

It can cost you your life in other ways as well. Some people waste so much time having to be right all the time that they never have a chance to learn anything. Life is about proving their point. That seems like a life lost as well. In the end, it doesn’t matter. That’s the mantra I use if I’m ever tempted to prove a point: It doesn’t matter. We have a lot more time for living. 🙂

  Well said, Deb! I think I am overly concerned on some issues with what it right, and am trying really hard not to get stuck in proving my point. This video clearly demonstrates that the race is long and it is ultimately only with yourself, or else….the cost is immense!
