I used to think logic could change minds, until debates left me drained and regretful.
Feminism, religion, and politics taught me one truth: some conversations steal your peace.
So I chose silence over chaos.
I used to believe that if I explained myself well enough, people would understand. I was wrong. Later in life I realized that everyone isn’t always logical. Some are braiwashed and some are illogical.
Every time I discussed about feminism, religion, or politics, I walked away feeling the same way, tired, irritated and full of regret. Not because I lost. Not because I was embarrassed. But because I had wasted my energy on a conversation that was never going to change anything. In debates with illogical people, it’s impossible to reach to any conclusion.
Remember:
“Never argue with illogical people. They will pull you down to their level and beat you with experience.”
So one day, I made a decision: I stopped debating these topics.
Not because I don’t care, but because I care about my peace more.
You can never see me with the people who are biased, political or religious fanatics, illogical. I leave such places too quick. Because these fanatics only see the one side of a coin.
Some topics don’t stay “just opinions.” They become part of a person’s identity.
When people talk about these, they don’t just defend ideas, they defend themselves. And when someone feels attacked, they stop listening. They stop thinking and they start fighting.
That is when logic dies.
You can speak calmly.
You can bring facts.
You can try to understand.
But if the other person only wants to prove they are right, nothing you say will ever be enough.
We enter debates hoping to change minds. But many people are not there to learn.
They are there to win, to argue or to release anger.
That’s why you explain something clearly, yet they twist your words.
That’s why they ignore facts but remember insults.
That’s why the conversation feels like a fight, not a discussion.
There is a famous quote:
“Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.”
Some people enjoy the chaos.
They enjoy watching you react.
They enjoy pulling you into the mud.
And while you walk away exhausted, they walk away energized.
A logical person wants clarity. An illogical person wants control.
A logical person listens. An illogical person waits for their turn to attack.
These two minds can never meet.
You cannot reason with someone who has already decided they are right. You cannot teach someone who refuses to learn. Trying to “win” such debates is like shouting into a locked room.
After every argument, my mind would replay the words.
“I should have said this.”
“I should have explained that.”
But the truth is: nothing would have changed.
Only my mood and peace.
That’s when I realized: Some conversations steal more than they give.
They steal your time, energy and calm. And that is too high a price.
Walking away is not weakness. It means you respect your mental space.
You do not have to prove your worth to people who don’t want to understand you. You do not have to defend your beliefs to everyone who questions them. Sometimes, the strongest response is to say nothing at all.
You cannot control how others think. But you can control what you allow into your life. So now, when those three topics come up, I smile and step back.
Not because I’m afraid. But because I’m free.
Because at the end of the day, the real victory is not winning an argument. It’s protecting your peace.
I’m telling you this because I’ve been there.
I have taken part in many debates and I can honestly say this: 99% of them never reach a real conclusion.
Nothing changes. No one truly listens. And the only person who loses something is the logical one, their peace.
When you listen to illogical arguments, your mind gets tired, your heart feels heavy, and your energy drains. Over time, I learned to protect my peace by choosing my conversations carefully.
Now, I only prefer to talk with people who:
Listen before reacting
Respect facts
Think with reason and morals
That is also why I started VT Challenges. It is a space where thoughtful, disciplined, and growth-minded people come together. The people who truly belong with logic, they stay. The ones who don’t resonate naturally with mission, they leave along the way. There is no force.
“Peace matters above all. Do what you are supposed to do.
Never debate with illogical people.
And never debate with fanatics of religion, politics, or feminism.
Just do what is right, and live your life.”Here Fanatics means the people who are so emotionally attached to a belief that they refuse to think, listen or question it. They just follow the belief.
Choose calm over chaos. Choose growth over noise. Choose peace, always.
