There’s a simple rule life teaches you—slowly, painfully, and with great clarity: never bring logic to a conversation where the other person is armed only with half-knowledge.

Half-knowledge is loud.

It is confident, stubborn, and strangely proud of its own limits. People who know only a fragment of the truth often speak like they’ve mastered the entire universe. And when you try to respond with logic, clarity, or facts, you’re not opening a dialogue—you’re walking into a trap.

Because half-knowledge doesn’t want to learn. It wants to win.

In such conversations, logic becomes a casualty. You can explain gently, argue patiently, or present evidence beautifully—none of it matters. The person on the other side isn’t listening; they’re only waiting for their next chance to speak.

So what do you do? You protect your peace.

You step back, smile if you can, and let silence do the work that logic cannot. Not every battle deserves your energy, and not every voice deserves a reply. Save your words for those who value truth, nuance, and understanding.

Because wisdom lies not only in knowing what to say—but also in knowing when not to waste it.
