Discussing the biggest waste of time

We have all been there. We start discussing something and soon we realize that the other person is speaking about something without having proper knowledge. You feel obliged to correct the person. The other person also goes into defense and starts justifying himself. And sooner or later you end up arguing about things and in the end quarreling and finally fighting it and then feeling guilty.

Some of the words might come out a bit too harsh. My apologies on the same

I am a fan of slow living and a big part of slow living is the ability to live with less. You see, discussions are nothing but conveying information written by someone, read by someone, and spoken to someone. In the end, no one actually knows what the truth is. Our whole knowledge has been just a bunch of articles read over the Internet. And we start defending and losing our minds over it.

Some of the most common topics of the century that people quarrel about are politics and relationships. If you open your social media and start scrolling through the reels, you will find a bunch of people fighting about who is better than whom.

Politics over Policies?

Just stop for a moment and think. Who are these people? And why should you care who for what they are talking about? If it is a profession, they have an agenda else it is a bunch of people fighting for someone who is not even listening to all of that fighting. We listen to all that negative news and we take them home. We have all these incredible points which we just want to spit onto someone and feel good about. Sadly you will find a couple of people near your home as well. And before you know it, a reel is being made about you now.

Reel-ationships?

Every social media app is telling you how to love someone these days. They tell you, you have to say these n sentences to your partner so you are a loving person. You have to buy these n things so you are a reliable and caring person. You have to respect by doing these n things so you are an obedient person. And you just keep doing it without questioning any of them. Ultimately you keep bettering yourself according to the standards set by celebrities — the people who fake it for a livelihood.

So what is the remedy? Well, just stop correcting people. It is a gamble of your time and mental stability that you will use to correct that person. Maybe the other person will understand but chances are you won’t even get close to it. Let people live the way they want, let them figure out things themselves. You do what is best for yourself. When you see a fight is bound to happen, get up and just move away. Believe me when I say it is NOT WORTH IT.

Have you ever thought why the latest songs and dances keep bombarding your feed? Have you wondered why during elections you get so many people talking politics? Have you ever wondered why social media keeps telling you to get out and have some fun (FOMO)? The next time you see someone/something asking you to do something, just remember —NO ONE CARES FOR YOUR OPINIONS. So apply your opinions on yourself, lead by example, and keep away from things that don’t bring VALUE.
