I don’t tend
to argue with people
in real life
or on the internet.
I say my piece,
stand up for what I think is right,
and then I move on.
I have never changed anyone’s mind
by arguing with them.
It serves no purpose
and sucks time I don’t have.

“You’re totally justified
in spending a lot of
time and energy
in evening the score.
You are the avenger.
The thing is,
it’s not clear that
we benefit from
carrying around
all that vitriol.
All the time we spend hating
is time that
we’ve given away
to someone
who hasn’t earned our time.
It’s time
we’re being controlled
by someone
we don’t like
or respect very much.”
If you’re not accomplishing anything
by arguing with people,
why do it?
