Science and Art of Arguing

How to argue in a smooth way? Each person in this world has his own set of values and views based on some rationale or faith. It is very likely that any two persons will differ on some views. There is a lot of scope for argument between people. The best way to start an argument is not from our own point of view but conceding that we are able to see the opponents point of view and so we need to start by putting ourselves in the opponents shoes. Let us first speak about what we agree with the opponents views. Then we tell him that we have an interesting alternate point of view. It is necessary to not talk about it emotionally but in a logical and objective way. We need to listen and pay heed to the objections. If we are not able to respond logically to the objections it is necessary again that we not get emotional about it. We need to gracefully accept and appreciate the logic but we can let him know that we will think about it and come back with a reply. If the opponent is not able to respond to our logic and gets emotional we should not continue with the argument. It will not get across. We can just say that each person's views are based on ones experiences and faith and that we respect the opposing views and just conclude the argument amicably

The two main rules are Patiently hearing the opponents arguments and put ourselves in his shoes and see his logic. Arguing our case in an objective way and not getting emotional. That is quickly taking ourselves "out of our own shoes" and trying to see our own flaws in logic. Many unnecessary altercations can be avoided if we follow the above rules in an argument
