To Argue or Not to Argue
I agree that everything is an argument. Everything that can be verbalized as in words, meanings, concepts can be argued. What you see/hear is an argument because it immediately results in you forming a thought or a reaction to it. You are inevitably subjecting yourself to an argument, whether its voluntary or not. And of course there can always be oposition to even a statement or question. An advertisment on the TV or even poetry. Of course when one looks at a bumper sticker on an old chevy the viewer isnt going to automatically think “what an argument!” but it is going to put a thought into his head and there can always be a counter thought that disagrees or doesnt believe with whatever the bumper sticker is saying. Spoken words are ephemeral, however when they are heard their effect is a catalyst on the listener and their following reaction is inevitable.
