When discussing something with others, it is much more useful to try and understand them and where they're coming from than to try and argue your point and win an argument. I've been doing the latter all my life and I'm reasonably good at it, but Increasingly see the pointlessness in it now. If you catch me arguing with somebody old style, remind me of this note 😅
