There are narcissists in the world that you would never know it,they thrive on others misery.If you have one of them in your life good luck,zero contact helps if you can.
 
That's just navigating the sea of life, manipulating conversations to dodge negativity and ultimately doing ones best to avoid toxicity.

Welcome to the internet.

Agreed with Indicas point, like mushrooms, ones that grow on dead things, ones that kill things, and ones that work in harmony to enrich the ecosystem.

BTW new fungi perfecti out.

Peace.

Well now that’s the million dollar question isn’t it? “Why can’t we co-operate” and all get along? If only it were that easy.

Don’t get me wrong I totoally agree with you, but unfortunately it’s impossible to co-operate with many people. No matter how hard you try their only intent is conflict, as tho they thrive on it. In these situations the best way to win is to take the higher ground and walk away. Say your part, stay honest, resist insults, wish no ill, and just walk away.
I think the sight of You walking away would be a mic drop to any situation .

Why do we always need to defeat? Isn't it better to try and get along? What's wrong with figuring out and convince another they have a wrong view and how they too can have your right view. Who knows. Maybe after finding out their "wrong view" you find out your "right view" is actually incorrect.

there maybe only one to defeat...that maybe self ?

I love your second sentence, thought provoking. I think your first sentence is debatable as expressing hate is not consistent with indifference. :bigjoint:
To tell someone to fuck off does not imply hate. The language is not as strong in certain locations as in others.

Pluck yew etc. To the English and Quebecer the word is not as harsh.

So you can do both :D

Wow that is a misquote. The first bit of that quote is about feeding and clothing your enemy and by doing so the act of kindness will heap burning coals on his head (when there is a reckoning).

But the Sun Tsu one sums it up perfectly.

I suppose you will feel like I misquoted you also by not quoting your reply in its entirety.
I included the reference of verses 21-22 so if one wanted to look up Proverbs they would be able to.
But I can see that you might be the judgmental type, please forgive me for not quoting Proverbs 25 in its entirety.

It is just now i am starting to realise that by trying to beat someone all you are doing is beating yourself. Your setting expectations, thoughts and possible negative actions setting yourself up to lose. The best way to win is to try not to win but be content as you are haha.
