Devil's Advocate

I've never been nice, it's just not my way, for being agreeable seldom can pay. I play devil's advocate, not just to have fun, but to find other ways that things may be done. When faced with a challenge folks try to explain the reason why this is how they play the game and I find I learn more when I disagree from arguments made to help convince me. When stating a case with contentious themes opinions then all flood back in their reams, but it isn't the folk who like what I say that give me the answers I find every day. I may disagree with the people who shout, or even retort with an essence of doubt, for the truth of the matter is always the same, I learn from the conflict when playing this game. So never back down when you're facing a fight, for even if you are determined you're right, you're bound to learn something, or even much more, and in losing a battle, you just may win a war!
