Question : When one encounters people that are either wrong or mistaken should one discuss things with them or should one avoid them altogether? AREDOS : One should avoid them if at all possible.

Negotiate and discuss things without raising your voice and in a logical fashion. Differences of opinion also have the right to be conducted in a friendly and polite manner. Animosities may never be triggered because of a difference of opinion or due to some mistake. • Every conflict is an open declaration of war against one’s opponent. To scorn someone and to ridicule someone in public, in front of others, is also a form of animosity that can easily lead to conflict and even murder could eventuate from its consequences. 23.

On the contrary, it is absolutely negative, because it is illogical and subjective to boot. Fanaticism can be found in all areas and it is welcomed and encouraged by the devil. Fanaticism has: • Found its way into politics. • Caused wars and killed millions of people. • Nations attack each other, because they fanatically believe in something they think is correct. • Fanaticism has even touched the divine. 7 Think of some of the discussions groups you see on television.
