RE: Challenging myself to be less vengeful and reactive when insulted in debates and such.

in #philosophy7 years ago

Lol! That's a good idea! But on another hand.. I remember in a book called something like.. "Barroom brawling, how to deal with the sucker puncher, etc etc etc a really long title" the guy taught that you should train how you plan to fight. So.. If you're sort of practicing one way, then that might come out reflexively in a real situation.. In your case you're still programming your mind to insult, even if you edit it out at the end. So, in real life.. You may let things slip more often.. I dunno if that's true, but it makes an amount of logical sense.. So.. I'm trying to just, not even type in the bad stuff, but I admit.. I've already had to delete a couple things cause after reflecting more on it, I realized it was too confrontational so to speak. So far, I'm enjoying trying though! It's good for self control to not reactively just let loose all the time.
