I have always believed in the saying “Dont say anything if you dont hv anything nice to say.” I have always prided my self for following it but… Yesterday during argument(s) with people about a topic which neither one of us had total facts about, I crossed the line. I said hurtful things, maybe they were interpretions of the truth and frankly most of it was my opinion but I knew it would hurt the other person and still bought it up.

Last night when I thought about it, I realized how naive I was. We were arguing about our beliefs and frankly those are the arguments that will never end… Beliefs dont change over moments… I was a lesser man for trying to hurt someone with words and even lesser man for letting myself be hurt by it.

I hv always believed in treating every incident in an unbiased way and whenever I realized that I couldn’t, I kept my opinion to myself. I hv promised myself not to indulge into those arguments again with the only exception of defending my beliefs if its truly and largely threatened.
