I believe I can do it really well... but I'm not perfect and sometimes lapse into investing my personal feelings into it. I do have a friend that always states his point but never argues or gets upset. So I asked him one day how he was able to remove the emotion from arguing with friends... he said, "Simple man. I'm right, they aren't. It's not my job to educate them. If they want to be stupid, that's on them." Not exactly the zen answer I was looking for or expecting! :-) Understanding that and living it are two different things! I believe I can do it really well… but I’m not perfect and sometimes lapse into investing my personal feelings into it.

When you are really comfortable in your stance, you feel no need to defend. People annoy me on an hourly basis and I am just... still. Idiots don't deserve my energy.
