Many problems which arise amidst people is due to lack of discretion to communicate appropriately. Most of them assume that by talking aloud with authority or by using words of intellect or being able to win over arguments, they can prove themselves right.
As God's children the Word of God warns us not to get into arguments to prove ourselves right.
2 Timothy 2:14 (New Living Translation)
Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.
The Word of God states that arguments only ruin the hearer and is useless, for it will neither prove us right nor benefit the hearer. It will also spoil the purpose of communication. We need to understand that we should learn to communicate appropriately showing discretion and sound reasoning, by which we can prove ourselves right. Our communication should be in a way that potrays maturity, tolerance, patience and sound judgement which is contrary to what the world may teach.
