No trying to prove a point - is backing up your opinion.

OK Friend, You sucked me in on this one. Here I am on Y/A's just looking for Trouble. ( oh, there I am ) You know something, I believe you may have a valid point you're trying to relate. But, I'd be afraid to say much about it or someone would think I'm trying to prove it to myself. Therefore I shall obstain from futher discussion. Point vs. counterpoint, but then again there may be no point at all. That's the beauty of it. A pointless point to state. Get the point? (I am so confused)

I know that the square root of two is irrational.
However, if some person were to say, "No, you're wrong, I believe with all my heart that there ARE two integers, a and b, which divide to perfectly represent the square root of two," I would consider him/her uninformed if they had no mathematical teaching, idiotic if they had some mathematical teaching.
I'd then demonstrate using fairly basic math a proof that no such pair of integers exists and that sqrt(2) is definately irrational.
I wouldn't be proving it to myself -- I already know. But I'd be assisting another is seeing what is easily proven.
At that point, I'm done. They can continue to believe in two integers a and b such that a/b = sqrt(2)... but the truth will be where it needs to be.

Wise words aren't eloquent.
Eloquent words aren't wise.
Wise men don't have to prove their point.
Men who need to prove their point aren't wise.
True words seem paradoxical.
The people I learn the most from teach what they know by example. They have nothing to prove. Those who have causes to fight and things to prove aren't mentally healthy or mature people.

My point is this--I think you do NOT have to prove a point ---ever!
I have a thing on my mirror that says (I copied it)
"EVERY time someone opens their mouth, it is ONLY an opinion."
Pretty smart, huh? You don't have to prove a thing. I tell people ---"that is my opinion on the subject"--so we don't have to go any further.
Got it?

Not from where I am standing.
If I believe in something, and i ask you to prove your point, I am trying to figure out what stimuli you have experienced that makes us differ.

My point of view is that it is a way to point out something to others, something you feel important to be pointed out.

Sometimes I just want to make sure everyone knows what I know.
