I don't know what it's a reflection of @fraenk, is it a desire to control situations? What are we really trying to "win?"

I do them same thing, sometimes... but I have become very aware of also watching myself so I can step back from that "contest."

Sometimes I wonder if it is because of what people choose to talk about: Things like politics, religion, government, economics all seem more likely to require someone to be "right" and someone to be "wrong."
