No One Wins

All it is is yelling
To one another loudly
No one is listening
These words don't
      get across
To argue is pointless
No one is right
There is no winner
Just talk it out

Hello Barbra,I grew up like this,every day were arguments of sometimes little things that meant nothing, or other stuff my father held grudges, so a lot of yelling went on. I do not believe in yelling- Talking it out is better. have a nice day my friend.

Hi Darlene, People don't have a "listening" for one another. Badly needed.They have... Positions...and are deaf to hearing what we say. Thus we all...lose. I don't like arguing or mud slinging at all. Pamagiota

Hello Demetrios, it would be nice if people did not argue. When i was growing up, there were arguments every day. This made me have a tightness in my chest for many weeks. I would rather talk it out then argue, Have a nice day my friend.
