This is different than debating, where the aim of both parties is to be victorious. Argument for the sake of argument is counter-productive. There is no victory, unless both parties can equally listen and open themselves up to the other person's point of view. Progress is not the end of the road, but the path itself. Truth is always subjective, no one can define it except for themselves. When both arguers have enough respect for one another and the truth in this way, both will benefit from expanding their knowledge by listening to the opposing opinion. If the arguer merely wants to destroy the opposing opinion and not learn from his opponent, he will miss a greater opportunity for human growth in critical thinking and social awareness. The progress is the deepening of understanding and respect for what you don't know as much as what you think you do know. Have fun!!!
