Why Do We Have to "Agree" to Disagree? Can’t we just disagree?

article image placeholderUploaded by @MsColes77
Hey, swell family. I hope you're continuing to have a great Monday evening. So something I've been hearing for. It's been a while now, but it always kind of irks me every time I hear it. And that's when people say, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. And I've never understood why that is necessary because it's already understood that you to disagree

And me being a logical, thinking person, I always said, what are you supposed to do with the cake? Like, if you can't eat it. I said, that doesn't make sense. Then come to find out, and a lot of people still haven't seen that. And I looked it up to see if it was actually true. It was. You want your Kate. Like a woman's name. Kate and Edith, too, referring to a man, know both women

Its about to get HOT! 🔥

Hey, sis, when people say, and I know you already know this, but this is just my perspective, when people say, I think we should agree to disagree, it usually proceeds. It's about to be an argument. So somebody's going to get heated, somebody's going to get out of pocket, somebody going to say something they really shouldn't say. So they be like, you know what? Let's just agree to disagree

Usually it's said when somebody is still trying to prove their point or convince the other person otherwise. And so it's like you said, why can't we just walk away? So until somebody just walks away or stops commenting or whatever the situation is, the platform you're on, somebody has to be the one to say, okay, I get it. You don't see my way, I don't see your way. Let's agree to disagree

But we've heard it so much that we've kind of given it our own meaning. We've given it a meaning even though it doesn't have a meaning. Thank you so much for this. And thank you for the laugh

So if you want to have the last word, you can have the last word. If you want to feel like you're right, you can feel like you're right. I still don't agree with you. And just because I walk away from the conversation doesn't mean that you won or that you were right. No, it just means that I don't care anymore and I want to move on that agree to disagree

@DearAuntyAng

I was just in a conversation last night and I didn't want to engage because I felt like the conversation was becoming fruitless. So I went to sleep. I didn't want to keep going back and forth just to prove to you that I don't agree. I'm going to sleep. You can keep talking. I'm going to sleep. You can keep talking if you want the last ten words, go ahead. I'm going to sleep. And I still don't agree

And it's so funny because last night, I, too, had a conversation on the phone and I had to tell this person. I said, you know what? I got to go. I'm going to hang up now because we're ending this. And it wasn't all agree to disagree because it wasn't even on that level of where I'm even acknowledged you. I'm like, I'm going. I'm at my spot. Can you tell?

Hey, Tanya. So I was also laughing with you as I was listening to your broadcast. And you're absolutely right. I mean, it sounds really kind of ridiculous when you think about it, right? The whole statement and phrase agree to disagree. Well, it should be understood that we disagree and that's it. And that should be the end of it. That's the key thing right there. And I'm just speaking for myself

So don't argue with me over religion, over government. I don't care what it is. But those are the two bad ones that people always get in their feelings about. I don't care about those things. I just don't when it comes to argument anyway. I'm not saying that I don't care about the subject matter because we all have our thoughts and I think that you shouldn't down somebody for having the thoughts that they have. Who told you you were 100% right?
