Word of advice to anyone and everyone.  Give up in arguments if the other person is just saying stuff to get their ego lifted.  I have had my share of arguments with people, including my own father, who is the worst to argue with.  I can pinpoint when people are just making up stuff to suit themselves when I know they are wrong.  I just have to give up because if we always try to get our way then conflict would keep going.  Sometimes we just have to give up and let the other person win or else it will keep going.  It is a tough thing to learn.  I am still learning as you can see by the previous posts.  I am just as much in the wrong by keeping an argument going.  Get over the ego.  I am not talking to anyone specifically, just in general, including myself.  Take criticism lightly.  It hurts sometimes but I learn to get over it.  If someone says something and I know they are right I will try my best to work on what it is they are referring to.  Its a tough lesson to learn, but we all need to learn when to shut up or else it will drain our energy and tear us apart.
