Which is more important for you in making decisions?

The holocaust survivors were taught in therapy by their shrinks that they must forgive and forget the Germans for what they did to European Jewry in the 1940's.

Otherwise the hate would devour these holocaust survivors.

The main lesson of the holocaust is that if you outlaw guns then only outlaws will have guns, including the German Nazi Party.

The Jews of Europe in the 1930's should have armed themselves. They were fools not to.

Which is closer to the way you come to making decisions.

1) The truth defines how you make decisions and logic defines how you use that truth.

2) Winning is the only thing that's important, it doesn't matter what you argue, as long as you win the argument?

One is not going to win an argument absent truth and logic.

What is best in life?

This is a hard choice -- complete freedom versus battlefield victory.

At this point in the saga of Conan, he was still driven by hate and revenge.

Hate and revenge are good -- they are what are needed to correct injustices and to kill enemies.

But you cannot be consumed by revenge and hate forever or it will kill you.

Therefore I like the idea of the Mongol prince who said, "... the open steppe, a freed horse, falcons at your breast and the wind in your hair."

Victory is always fun, humiliating victory so much more so.

The issue seems to be that they're not worried about winning the argument, they're just concerned with making sure no one can knock down their argument. If you derail the argument, then you can tell your friends "they can't break my argument". Happens all the time on here.
