argument

Description

An argument is a social ordeal where two parties attempt to prove correctness not with fists but with volume and supposed logic. A clever remark lights a spark, eventually evolving into a theatrical clash known as a quarrel. It is a festival that often showcases the moment emotion’s volume drowns out reason’s whispers. The verbal volleys at each other’s ears expose vulnerabilities and brightly illuminate the chasm of a relationship. In the end, the performance closes when one raises a white flag called concession or quietly exits the stage.
