i discuss with my friend about life. we argue very hard. We try to defend our own point of view. since then, he looks different and make some distance from me. I think because our discuss. Do you respect your friend of having this? what do you do if you are in my shoes?

Hello, ifa225. I believe that real friends listen to each other's points of view, and respect what they think is right no matter how different and complicated it is. Setting some distance just because of opposing views is rather an immature and unnecessary strain in the friendship, and no one would like that. That is, if he's truly being a friend to you.

Hi friend, my point is if you argue only for sake of argument then you will never come to any conclusion.These discussion are general discussions and there is no point you should make distance with your friend only to prove yourself right!.The main objective of a discussion is to come to a common conclusion by taking views from all participants.Hope this clears your confusion.

Yes I do believe a persons point of view even if it's rapidly different then mine as long as it has faith behind the belief and that the person is trying to discuss so we can both learn from each other rather then arguing. My friends and I love to do this because conversations can get really deep because there are so many people that study and pay attention to different things in the world. We need each other to learn becuase there is so much knowledge out there to be learned. If we listen to people that are different it will help us by giving us information from research done by someone else and plenty of other possibilities.

sometimes a person can get mad if we have the contradictory of some view. They think they are the most right from anyone, and it makes e really illfeel about it
