pointless arguments

tarka -logic or argument is usually used in kannada to mean unnecessary arguments.
This is what we do these days - day in day out. We make logical statements,supporting this and opposing that, apparently passionately on facebook.
It is strangely satisfying but utlimately unwholesome and completely pointless.

Be a man

Man is sometimes used as a substitute word for Human.  
But the two phrases "Dont be an animal" - i.e  be human and "Be a man" mean opposite. When u tell a man to Be a man, you are telling a Man to be male, i.e less human and more animal! 
Men would rather be a Man (male) first and Be a Man(human) later.
Be a Man(male) is a challenge to the ego, Be a Man(human) is a emotional plea.
Yang n Yin.
Does be a human mean Be a woman?The positive qualities(stereotypes obviously) associated with woman like kindness, more reasonable, more in control of urges, loving caring etc are the exact virtues that go into being a Human :D
But when people tell u not to be woman( nobody tells anyone to "be a woman",only "dont be a woman"  ;) ) only negative conotations cowardly, fleeing ,weak etc apply ;)
This world, manipulative or what? ;)
