Sports (and the often barely withheld violence around them) have become one of the few modern ways to connect with strangers. They give an amazing number of geeks things to talk about. In the old days we settled for, Hello, how are you?

1. Engage in a Conversation: The ping pong method is not about interviewing with a rehearsed list of questions. It involves asking questions, listening to the responses, and contributing to the discussion. 2. Show Interest:  Ask the right questions and show genuine interest in the other person. This can help you stay on one topic, such as your job, pets, or favorite books, for hours.

Why should I forgive someone? Is the question you may be asking, but even if you weren't, this will still apply to you, because no matter what you're looking for out of an apology, it will more than likely happen.

You can forgive anyone for anything, even yourself for doing something you regret. Forgiveness also has many perks

Forgive

Forgiving someone can be for you to let go of the issues and pent up anger you may hold in yourself.

It's For You

If no other reasons make you want to forgive someone, then do it for the greater good. Do it just because it's the right thing to do.

It's For The Greater Good

Forgive someone for the happiness of another person altogether. Maybe they want you to be friends, or are close to both of you, or anything else, but do it for the outside person, if not for yourself or them.

It's For Someone Else

What to Do with Illustrations

People don't read every article; they usually scan the text searching for the best parts. Pictures can help them start reading.

Managing Attention with Pictures

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Draw it. Sometimes you don't need a photo and could use simple drawings: schemes, graphics.

Great illustrations inside your article

A cover is the main picture that will be shown on social media, in snippets, and in the sections of the site. So, the first thing your reader will see is the cover, and then they will see the headline, lead, and so on. You should not make it boring and generic. Think about it – make it brighter and smarter.

What is the best cover for the articles

Claiming moral high ground to discredit someone’s argument or dismiss their perspective is the easiest way to spot it. People want to follow others who have high morals. So to show superior moral competency to another party is a good use of moral high ground.<ul><li>undermine perspectives</li><li>dismiss ideas</li><li>manipulate the argument </li></ul>

Moral High Ground

Committing to a popular moral cause often displays yourself as a more virtuous person. Even if the sole purpose of supporting the cause was publicity, you wouldn’t know. (Such causes might include: BLM, Palestine, LGBTQ campaigns, and so forth.)<ul><li>supporting causes to look more virtuous </li><li>is a form of publicity and doesn’t necessarily show true virtue </li><li>It’s trending, so you’ll look better supporting the current thing</li></ul>

Virtue Signaling

Shaming and guilt can be very dangerous, because it stems from weaponizing someone else’s virtue and using it against them. By reminding someone of their own shortcomings and faults with their virtues it undermines them. (Basically calling someone hypocritical for not being a virtuous person themselves)<ul><li>Use someone’s own ideals against them</li><li>Emotionally put down opposing parties</li><li>Degrade opposition to look better</li></ul>

Shaming And Guilt

By pretending or acting to be a kind or virtuous person, you leverage others trust for personal gain. If used on opposing parties, this can create a form of debt or obligation that can be taken advantage of later.<ul><li>Display false virtue</li><li>Leverage trust</li><li>Create debt or obligations</li></ul>

Manipulative Altruism

By setting a moral standard much higher than what can be achieved, you downgrade everyone who can’t meet that standard. From there, you can criticize or punish these shortcomings.<ul><li>Unrealistic expectations </li><li>Set them up to fail </li><li>Downgrade the masses rather than one individual at a time</li></ul>

Predestined Shortcomings

By demonstrating that you’re more affluent in a particular moral understanding, you display superiority and make it difficult for people to argue with your moral actions because they are under the assumption that you stand on a higher echelon of understanding. <ul><li>Prevent criticism </li><li>Demonstrate moral competency </li><li>Gain a more favorable reputation</li></ul>

Exclusivity Of Moral Understanding

Learn how virtue can be weaponized. This is used in very subtle ways in our everyday life, learn how to spot them or even use them for personal gain.

Understand yourself and those around you.

How to Weaponize Virtue

Communication can be difficult, especially when people don't understand what you're saying. Unfortunately, they may respond with rudeness or negative comments to try to hurt you. But, remember that it's their own insecurities and lack of self-awareness that lead them to act this way.<ul><li>They may not be interested in or value the same things as you.</li><li>They may say rude things to hurt you</li></ul>

The Power of Understanding Others and Dealing with Rudeness

People may be unkind if they don't understand you. This shows their weaknesses and lack of self-awareness.

To handle these situations, try to stay calm and kind. It's important to understand that their behavior is not a reflection of you, but rather their own struggles. Be patient and remind yourself that you don't need to prove anything to them. Focus on staying true to yourself and don't let their negativity weigh you down.<ul><li>Don't take their actions personally</li><li>Stay calm and kind</li><li>Don't let their negativity affect you</li></ul>

How to handle

If people don't understand you.. just understand them more!

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IT SAYS MORE ABOUT THEM AND LESS ABOUT YOU

Two Simple Body Language Tips

Being a people pleaser disables one from taking conflict of any form. The idea about going into a conflict situation is so hyper to these people, that "you're wrong" is something they would never say unless they know the person too well.The very first step for change in pleasing personality is to learn to take on conflicts. And to take on conflicts there's nothing better than "Blame the game and not the player". It is an effective way to indirectly communicate people their faults without being a pain in the ass.

Blame The Game And Not The Player

It's allows you to get your point across with least or no amount of resistance from the opposition, as you don't directly point towards a person saying "you did this or that wrong" instead you divert all that attention to the situation saying that it's usual for people to behave this way in these kind of scenarios. Afterwards communicating that there are far better options available to tackle such situations.

Why "Blame The Game And Not The Player"?

Let's say your close knit family member has lied, or has a fight, or doesn't accept his mistake in a certain situation. What will you do?Instead of saying you never learn and it's all your mistake, you need to firstly highlight the good things about what has happened and then say that at this certain age or in this certain circumstance everyone feels the need to do this same thing but these small scenarios need this kind of resolution mindset and set of actions to solve the conflict situation.

How To Use Blame The Game And Not The Player

Most probably no, the idea about others realising and accepting their mistake is flawed, nobody will ever whole heartedly accept their mistakes. Thaty just how things are, most people learn from their own mistakes and not from others mistake. Your job is to inform them the decision at the end lies with them.Better to make a friend than make an enemy.

Will They Understand And Realise Their Mistake?

"Better to make a friend, than make an enemy."
