Life is already hard,
but some still choose to take it seriously,
too seriously to take a joke or a piece of banter.
As a Sagittarius, (it is hardly relevant, though I do joke around
on less formal occasions,) I consider myself free from susceptibility to
abusive remarks or teasing. I love to defend myself by finding faults with
the opponent's attack. There is nothing more powerful than using the
opponent's logic to fight back.
However, if I fail to point out the defects, or I find the criticism infallible,
I would love to admit the defeat, and even become a follower of my opponent.
There is always an undeniable good lesson we can learn from different point
of view. Just listen attentively before responding, and then you will not
waste your time and effort in an argument.
On the other hand, at the times when I can't choose which battle to fight,
when I can't escape from the battlefield, or when I feel too tired to fight,
I laugh it all off. For example, sometimes, I can't reason with a child. I
listen carefully and smile all the way. If they make fun of me, I am more
than willing to share the fun for fun's sake. I don't have to fight every
fight. When you laugh it off, it loses the edge to cut.
