This post is as much a suggestion to you as it is a reminder to myself.
Experiences are important parts of life; it’s something we accumulate more or less throughout our lives. Wikipedia reads:
Experience is the knowledge or mastery of an event or subject gained through involvement in or exposure to it.1
However, there is another side to this which the following quote tries to illustrate:
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.2
My point is that we all have experiences, and since our experiences most likely will differ the use of experience as argument should be avoided in all situations but one; when someone asks you for your experience.
Experience can help us keep safe though.
