# I prefer to quickly agree with most people rather than listen to them.
Montesquieu - Charles Louis de Secondat, lord de la Brède and baron de Montesquieu

I have met on occasions, on more occasions than I would like, people who almost pathologically enjoy expressing their uninformed opinion on all kinds of topics, but with the full idea that they are right and willing to argue with vehement against anyone who points out any deficiency or error in their approaches.

Well, I admit that I am not a person without errors, faults, and defects, but I identify a lot with the phrase of this French thinker, there are people with whom you do not gain anything by arguing and it is preferable to make the pretense that they are given the They are right, because that eases their mental conflict and gives them satisfaction, long enough for them to shut up and leave us alone.

I remember on occasions that they have sent me to do some work and gave me instructions that were a recipe for failure, the times I have argued that this is not going to work the way it is being ordered to be done, because they have reminded me It is not my business and I must do what I am told. Well, in several cases I have tried the crazy instructions that they gave me, in case they work, but when they fail, I find that I cannot leave the task hanging and I have to make it work, so I do it in another way until I manage to make something work the way it is supposed to.

The problem is that later I must be aware that those who gave the orders do not realize that I ignored them because they get angry, they never cared if the problem was solved or if things worked or not, they just wanted to have the reason for what they said and that it relieved them of the serious inferiority complex they suffer.
