I find this general trend that makes people to argue about everything stated
by one's superior in whatever environment possible, disturbing. It is a
question of respect and courtesy, in where the latter happens because of the
first. It is a matter of course.
When you respect someone, or someone's ideas, you are deferring to that
person. When my grandfather and grandmother tell me stories about what it was
like during the WWII, I do not argue with them. I was not there. I did not
walk through dry fields. I did not worry about starving to death during the
Great Depression. I respect them as my social superiors, and I defer to their
opinions and explanations on most matters. I show them respect by not arguing
with them even when I think I know better than they do.
They raised my parents. They are very old. They are very wise. They have been
married 60 years, and they have both lived through both World Wars. They
deserve and receive my respect, my admiration, my esteem, and my deference.
I think it is important to know respect. I think it is important to show
respect to others when the occasion and the person in question clearly merit
such behavior.
I do not argue with the archwizards, on their land, even if they are wrong.
You all whiners should understand the same.
