My opinion
I believe there is no perfect being anywhere. We all have our strength and weaknesses. An habit that could be strength to one person, could be a weakness for another, based on the circumstances surrounding them. We are all trying to work towards perfection but hardly reach the point.
I'm a lot of things and I have a lot of weakness as well but I have this major challenges that has been a weakness to my personal growth journey and it has also affected my relationship with others. I have identified this before now and I've already started making plans on how to curb if not permanently stopping it. I understand the fact that it won't go away immediately but I'm already making effort.
Maybe based on my background or experiences, I tend to argue a lot these days. I only just had time to think thoroughly about it and I realized that it's getting too much. Some think I'm always trying to prove a point or I want to be right all the time but this is not true. I don't even argue blindly and I never want to be always right I just want you to look at it from another angle.
There was a time a colleague said something that really hurt me just because I shared my experience about a ditch she was about to fall into. A step that I took that affected me was the same step she was about to take. I warned her about it but rather she politely insulted me. I thought it was best to learn from other people's mistakes so that we won't make the same.
Since then, I told myself that I needed to do better and I started working on it. It has not been easy but I'm putting my mind to it and I'm already happy with some of the progress I've made. Just last week, someone was discussing with me about the present government telling me why it's the best we have had in Nigeria and I just told him that he was right and I plugged my ears. Normally, I won't accept that, I would argue with my own points before walking out but I didn't say a word.
I was so happy that I could control myself and not say anything. A similar scenario happened few days ago while traveling. The driver is someone I know and anytime I'm traveling in his car we usually discuss. So, on our way I didn't say anything or contribute to any of his talks. Then, in his discussion with another passenger, he made a comment that Adam and Eve were hungry in the Garden of Eden. I didn't want to argue so I asked him if that was written in the Bible or taught by theologians. He couldn't give me an answer so I just kept quiet.
I've been really proud of myself with the little progress and I hope to continue to work on myself. I've discovered that some people don't want to unlearn and I won't prove anything to anyone. I have better things to do with my time.

Adam and Eve were hungry in the Garden of Eden got to me 🤣 who told him they were hungry, glad you avoided that conversation because it wouldn't have ended sooner or later. I'm impressed that you know your weakness and you're trying to work on it.
You can imagine that😂😂
I am so working on it.
Thanks for stopping by.
You are welcome
Hmmmm that argument thing not only you ooooo but God has really helped me to overcome it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much.
I really want to overcome it and I hope God helps me.
humans are just too funny, especially humans from this part of the world, lol. Sometimes they would intentionally bring up topics that contradicts every other person's view, just to cause unnecessary arguments. Sometimes the best thing is to avoid such unnecessary arguments, so keep up the good work dear
Thank you so much my friend 🥰
I'm really working on it and I'm getting there. I don't want anyone to make me talk.😁
How have you been?
His belief was because Eve gave Adam fruit to eat, so therefore they were hungry 🤣🤣Very funny!
Well, thank God you are trying to cub that aspect of your weakness. It is not necessary to argue in every discussion.
I'm impressed 👍
You can imagine hunger in the Garden 😂😂
I'm working on it and I hope I'll overcome it very soon.
🤣🤣🤣

Maybe the difference is in the way we say things, so the approach that others have on any topic can change. In recent years I have learned a lot that the way I let someone know about mistakes makes a lot of difference. And they even end up collaborating with me in addition to correcting the error. But all from peace, rationality and presenting the matter as an opportunity to win, to take advantage of it. I think this makes a lot of sense to you, and I am very happy to read that you have improved in your way of doing things, I know that you will continue to grow and improve.
It makes a lot of sense to me.
Thank you very much.
I will keep learning and correcting myself as I grow.
Same like you I also love to be arguing with people even when I see am at fault.
😂😂😂 that's funny, maybe it's our name that is making us do that😂
Thanks for stopping by.
Hahaha. I understand you. You know, some people can be so difficult to wanting to try prove a point to them because no matter what, everyone thinks they are right no matter how right the other person is. Though we are different and our perspectives to things aren't the same. For people like that, we learn to accept what they say and not argue too much. Argument only leads to misunderstandings if not handled properly and so, we must be careful when dealing with people in this kind of situation.
You are very correct!
There is no need arguing at all. Right now, everyone is right no matter how wrong.
I don't have the strength anymore.😁
