Whoever speaks the loudest is right?

Tweet

Yesterday I was participating in a debate among a group of friends and colleagues, on a topic that I consider irrelevant and has nothing to do with the context that I bring you today, therefore, I do not even intend to mention it in this scenario, it turns out that while we were debating on this topic several points of view and different sides in terms of criteria arose. Reaching the limit where some of those present there, began to defend their position in a different tone than the rest, trying to make their position prevail by the simple fact that their voice stood out above the others, with the sole purpose of making it understood that they were the ones who were right, that is to say, the owners of the absolute truth. To such an extent that I stopped and clarified, “here the one who speaks the loudest is not the one who is right", at the end of the discussion nothing was achieved, because each one left, as if, in a certain way, their criteria prevailed, and they left convinced that they had “won” the dispute, I was also one of those who did not give their arm to twist as usual, although I was not one of those who raised the tone of their voice in the group. All this happened in the morning and then at night, I took the subject to bed with my husband, to give me his point of view, as we are always in an eternal dispute, I knew he would have a completely opposite criterion to mine, however, I was very moved with his response, somewhat unexpected, at the time I said, I'll write it down that tomorrow this will be my next reflection with my friends Noise. Very convinced before finishing the story, he answered me, "none of you at any time was right, much less was the owner of the absolute truth", I already imagined that he would not agree with my criteria, however, I hoped that at least, he would support the criteria of someone, I made him dictate to me everything he said to plagiarize it just as he expressed himself. (...) "sometimes we argue over issues, seeking to be right and the absolute truth in certain and certain matters, and we forget that these two ladies have no owner, they are free to be, the truth simply is; just like reason, and the starting point to reach it, should be to ask ourselves instead of, who is right, or who has the truth, rather, what is the truth, and what is the reason? From these questions you can guarantee that no one will raise their voice to get hold of something that has no owner and the debate will focus precisely on the Which? And not on the Who, but on the Who; the one with the highest pitched voice will always be the owner for life of truth and reason" (...). This time silence occupied every atom of my mind and my body, and I prefer to leave to your assessment these, which I consider "wise words", so that it is you who have read to the end, who bring me your criteria and that this is the source of energy that activates my total anatomy, for it touches to activate something we know as #DebateAlert. I wish you a happy weekend... cordial greetings.
