avoiding controversies

Getting into an argument only causes tension and friction.To have peace of mind,it is always preferable to express your point of view and leave it at that.
There will always be numerous opinions,since no individual can claim to have a monopoly of wisdom.A healthy society will always encourage contradictory opinions sine debate and discussion are the very essence of life.Uniformity of views can only be found in a graveyard!

By adopting an unassertive attitude,it helps to spread bonhomie and good cheer all round.Every normal person feels comfortable if he is not provoked or annoyed by others.
