If you play a fools game you’ll lose everytime .
In fact if you play any one’s game besides your own you’ll lose .
Some people are better at being foolish than others .
Before you engage in long conversations with people, get some feedback to see if they are worth your time .
Some people will lure you into long conversations not to learn, listen, and share but to argue .
I am urging you to be mindful. Otherwise, you’ll run down a rabbit hole .
Do realize that some people don’t want solutions they want problems

Me personally I don’t mind if you have problems, but if you don’t want solutions , I won’t waste my time entertaining you .
My time is too precious and important to be wasted .
There are countless people in the world that would love to have your time and your energy .
The person baiting you in to argue is doing it to distract you .
You have to be mindful of who you entertain and what you take on .
Your time ,your energy is your most precious resource, so protect it .
Not everyone is going to embrace you, and not everyone is going to agree with you and that’s ok .
That doesn’t mean that the person is bad and it doesn’t make you enemies .
I could engage in a conversation with a person who disagrees with me, but I will not argue with them .
Knowing and understanding that you don’t have to prove anything to anybody is important.
Control your ego
When you learn how to control your ego, you’ll become a master of your life .
Usually, arguments and confrontations start when 1 or 2 persons feel they have to prove a point.
You don’t always have to win an argument.
It’s not like you are fighting a court battle or something, so there is no need to win the argument.

Sometimes you have to keep quiet to keep your peace or walk away. If you notice that a person is not willing to have a civil conversation .
Arguing with people only serves to bring you down to their level .
All you are doing is giving them the feeling of satisfaction.
Watch your tone
. Sometimes, your approach can trigger and provoke people to react a certain way .
Having good intentions with an awful delivery can rub people the wrong way.
Be mindful of that when you are interacting with people .
It takes 2 to argue,however, it only takes 1 person to be sensible enough to defuse the entire situation .
From here on in be the bigger person but don’t tolerate disrespect ..
Being the bigger person doesn’t mean that you should be naive and gullible .
It means being aware of the folly when you see it .
You can’t control what people think act and say, but you control how you respond to it if you choose to respond .
Sometimes it’s best not to respond at all .
