“It’s just human nature”
Well, I’ve been in discussion most of the morning amongst my workload with a colleague – it’s had it’s high points and low points but seems to turn into banging my head against a brick wall very easily. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the responses which cause such aggravation…
“It’s just human nature” and “Ignorance is the best policy”
Now, this discussion has ranged from religion to vegan-ism. It started off on the wrong foot by me foolishly mentioning “I’m thinking about going Vegan” (I’m currently Vegetarian anyway). This quickly deteriorated in to a slag match until I would drop facts into conversation, and in each of those instances I was met by one of the above stock answers.
I’m not going in to the ins and outs of this particular conversation, I’m purely voicing my annoyance of the general public’s use of stock phrases. I wouldn’t mind being advised otherwise with evidence, but when one has specifically researched a field in which they’re debating – surely the opposition hasn’t a leg to stand on?
It’s almost as bad as “God works in mysterious ways” when you back a Christian into a corner!
Anybody else have these life traumas?
