生活中总会遇到的7种讨厌的人

Some people still believe that “Truth is Born of Arguments”. So they drag you into an argument and then make it their goal to prove to you that they are right (even if you both know it is not the case).

有些人仍然认为“争论诞生出真理”。因此他们把你拉入争论之中，然后向你证明他们是对的（即便你们俩人都知道事实并非如此），不达目的誓不罢休。

What to do about it:
如何应对：

Agree to disagree. Any discussion, where at least one of the two parties refuses to listen soon turns into a battle of egos- me-versus-you, Who is right? sort of game. It leads nowhere, resolves nothing and when the heat of an argument cools down it leaves you feeling angry, vindictive and upset.
求同存异。在任何讨论中，至少双方中的一方拒绝再听下去，讨论很快就变成了一场有关自我的争斗，我对你，谁是对的？有点像游戏吧。这不会有什么结果，解决不了任何问题，并且当争论的热度降下来的时候，它会让你感到气愤、怀恨在心且心烦意乱。

So the ultimate question is why waste your energy on empty conflicts?
因此最终的问题是：为什么浪费你的精力在无意义的冲突上？
