Those who want to win an argument at any cost, remember that no one ever wins a debate, everything is multifaceted, many a dimensions beg attention, even if you win one facet of the debate you actually loose it all by exposing your limitations...attempts to convert by coercion and laying traps does not mean that someone has discovered the nirvana or has become the ultimate arbitrager of truth; he may be as confused as before and may be as directionless as ever. Those who search for absolute truth and concrete hypotheses discover nothing but their own shallowness like 'The two learned men'''' Once there lived in the ancient city of Afkar two learned men who hated and belittled each other's learning. For one of them denied the existence of the gods and the other was a believer. One day the two met in the market-place, and amidst their followers they began to dispute and to argue about the existence or the non-existence of the gods. And after hours of contention they parted. That evening the unbeliever went to the temple and prostrated himself before the altar and prayed the gods to forgive his wayward past. And the same hour the other learned man, he who had upheld the gods, burned his sacred books. For he had become an unbeliever.
