Being Contrarian

in personality •  7 years ago 

I have known myself all my life. I recognize my moods. Today I am itching for an intellectual fight (argument). These are the days I avoid contact with others. a1drjohnthumb.JPG

Somewhere in my hereditary makeup I picked up the gene that makes me contrary. I enjoy rebellion.

The strange thing is the cause becomes irrelevant. If you pick a side, I will enjoy defending the opposing point of view.

I understand the sour flavor I leave behind me. I have many memories of damage I have caused with the contrarian part of my personality.

Change of anything natural is tough. My struggles with my irrational behavior is a life-long battle. Nevertheless, it is my problem. I am response able.

If I experience conflict today, it is probably my bad.

Here is today's beauty.

I'm always up for debate, pick a topic and side, then let's take a day to research then post opposing views for opening arguments. Then take a day to banter a little, then a wrap up post each on the topic and what we learned.

To make it more interesting I think it should be something we either share as a knowledge base to force us to learn something new about the topic, or a topic we don't know as much about as we'd like.

Sadly I won't have time until next week, but seriously I'm game if you want someone to argue a topic with. Think doing it in this way could be entertaining and enlightening.

Since I don’t know you or your history, I’m game if you choose the topic and make any rules you wish. Perhaps one of us could make an opening statement post. The other could respond in one day... then back and forth once or twice... I’m currently available anytime. The ball is in your court.

I'll think on it. For sure we should do it. If you want take a quick look at a couple past posts of mine and maybe something will stick out.

Think the opening statement post and then response the next day works good. Gives time for a thoughtful argument to be put forward.

Next 4 days I actually need to be hands on one of my businesses and it will be 7am-7pm...oh how I hate days like this back to back. But next week is pretty flexible and would be a great time to do this for me.

Just the fact you admit this tells me you are wrong.

get off my LAWN!

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

The first step is to acknowledge the problem. Stay rational @doctorjohn.
