[quote=@Balance] No, I'm not. Read it again. Pride is the idea that I am the best. Therefore, my ideas are the best. If someone else comes and has an idea contrary to mine, then as a result of that pride, both I and the other person will want our incompatible ideas to be the best. Because this is impossible, then our ideas logically clash, because they are incompatible. To settle this by compromise violates my pride, because I would have to change my idea to work with someone else's--but if my idea is superior, then why should I change it? And so the only way to continue is to fight over it. [/quote] You were going fine, but then skipped several steps in the last statement. You went straight from "I won't change" to "fight." There's not a logical progression there. [quote=@DarkwolfX37] The one you'll accept is also correct, it's just secondary to the one you won't in terms of why. [/quote] I'm aware. I didn't post it looking for an answer; rather, I was thinking aloud as I worked through it.
