When you are in a conflict that you are not passionate about, it is seen as gracious to sometimes
a.
fight for your side until the other person agrees
b.
step aside and let the other person prevail
c.
use ad hominem arguments until a mediator steps in
d.
allow the other person to compromise their position

It is generally accepted that if you found yourself in an argument and you don’t quite care about the topic that you are arguing about, you should (B) step aside and let the other person prevail.

This is better than fighting continuously about the topic if you both have opposing positions since it might create resentment, since you are only arguing to win – this is also why option (D) and (C) are incorrect.
