Hate Love and Arguments!!

Betrand Russels says the one indication of non-rational argument is anger. The opponent really annoys you when he shakes the very base of your argument!!

Browsing through this community where members hated Sachin Tendulkar , I found some guy fighting for him. He gave some statistics and said it's not that bad. One of the members replied " We lost the World cup Sachin played. We won the one which he did not!! What does that tell you?" I wonder, after reading this if the former gets angry, whether it refutes the Betrand argument !! On a completely Orthogonal note Sachin was awarded Padma Vibhushan.

It has become customary for the "Put Psued" movies (ref. NEXT(film)) to start with the phrase "The thing about .. ". Following the tradition, The Thing about hate/love is Hate travels faster than love. Nature seems to have hardwired a default emotional value as 'hate'. It has become a rather important lesson for me!!

Coming back to arguments, the most interesting one is "god and religion". I had this super cool argument with a couple of people. But the discussion is beyond the scope of this post, it is too large already. Wait until Next week. Ta!!
