Unity and agreement are overestimated when it is only a matter of creating a unanimous sphere. It becomes desolate and boring. "Challenge" is indeed a pop star among words, only it is the word that is loved, not the thing itself.

Feeling challenged is a really great thing when it takes place in a sporting spirit and you know the rules.

During my long blogging career, one of the nicest things was when my challenger and I were able to keep a touch of wit alongside the hot-blooded engagement, that is, the fight was not grim, but one conceded a point to the other, no ego problems, admitting when another argues better or has the wittier ideas. Such things are truly exciting to experience, as not all in the local and own environment are excellent challengers and I say that I am on the lookout for people who are more intelligent than me.

Greetings, even though you may have similar feathers :)

P.S.

The phrase ‘birds of a feather flock together’ is at least over 470 years old. It was in use as far back as the mid-16th century. William Turner is said to have used a version of this expression in the Rescuing of Romish Fox, from the year 1545:
“Byrdes of on kynde and color flok and flye allwayes together.”

How nice, I thank you for the historical reference.
