Rewind

There is something about argument. You start it with one point and end up at a completely different point. With the aim of getting down to the solution to a problem, we most often take a completely different route, miles away from the real solution, and in the way we pick that extra baggage up, which makes the journey towards solution difficult, weary and impossible to finish. And at the end, what we get is a completely different picture, which rather proves to be an umbilical chord to many such arguments, unending… unsettling …and disturbing…

I learnt this while I was in an argument with someone; a lesson indeed. In fact we all know it. It’s just that while in argument, we are blinded by our sense of superiority. Our ego overpowers us so much that we fail to see others view…

But I found a solution for it...

It happened all on its own…we both didn’t try to do it. In fact all of a sudden, we were on our way towards it. Suddenly the ‘other’ took an about turn and went to the point from where the argument started. It was just like a countdown. And we could actually see the tangles getting solved…

Though we didn’t reach to the conclusion for which we started arguing but at the end we were less confused and fatigued as we could shed that ‘extra baggage’.

It’s really important to have that rewind button, when in an argument, as it lets you track down that path…from where you started, where you have reached and to where you are heading for. It tells you where you got distracted from the way you should be treading on…

Always keep a place for that rewind button in your arguments, and your arguments will soon start reaching to the conclusions…
