For a long time now i have believed that in a debate i am easily convinced, not necessarily by my own prejudice, but by a few arguments of any of the sides. I used to blame this most of the time on my lack of knowledge about the subject.
However slowly i have come to realize that this "weakness", if one can call it, is not just out of me being gullible. I actually understand and appreciate that there is always some sense to both sides of the argument. Evidently that is precisely why the argument exists. Many a times therefore the side we choose, or rather believe to be right is just the resultant of our priorities, past experiences and projected future effects from the issue. We almost never get the true WHOLE picture.

Knowing this in fact always brings along with it a weird frustration.... how can people so easily reach a conclusion ... in most cases which is a prejudice!! maybe i induldge in similar practice sometimes too, but every now and then i step aside ... realize the above and get frustrated again!!!
