Finding common ground in a debate

I don't have time to fight small battles.

but if we don't ever make time, how can we ever have time?

-Merovingian (Matrix Reloaded)

Debates (with arguments) are the only way to arrive to truth because of the infinity of lies out there.
I don't believe in middle grounds.
Truth is absolute!
 
It's regrettable that we're more often in debates than in conversations. It doesn't have to be adversarial to be educational but it just often works out that way.

Hazard of being human, we make mistakes.

Edit: and we make it personal too
 
We need to keep in mind that we didn't need to have the final word! And be respectful when defending one point of view! This way, every one in the discussion may learn something new.
 
We need to keep in mind that we didn't need to have the final word!
if what they care for is the final word, then your argument better be online so others can read because with them it must have been futile.
oh, they can have the final word if that's what they were after!
what matters is the truth to come out.

And be respectful when defending one point of view!
or, be respectful in general. it proves your upbringing and bad behaviour reflects your parents.
It's them you're insulting when insulting someone due to your inability to debate them.

DEFINITION OF TRUTH :
According to the English word, there's "nothing to see there"
But if you resort back to the Hellenistic roots,
Truth = Αλήθεια = A+Λήθη = ΝO+Deception

Truth can never include ANY deception in it.
because it's the truth by definition.
So, if you own 50% of the truth and i own the other 50%
none of us enjoys "the" truth since our other 50% is deception on both sides.
If your "truth" equals mine as "respecting each other's views, accepting them and finding common ground"
then it's both sides that are deceived.
There are NO equal truths!
Truth is one and always backed by evidence.
No evidence can ever disprove the truth because if they support a lie they will be lies.
There's no "unproof" to truth! nor real proof for any lie!
Fabricated truths to prove lies are there for exposure and if your quest is the truth,
then exposing them should be a job not a fun game to play!

It's like arguing in a room without windows of whether the sun is out or not.
fact a: we could always check outside.
fact b: the sun does not care for what we debate upon.
fact c: the sun will continue its path irrelevantly to what we think.
it's all about, caring enough to know it so we can act accordingly.

i will give you an example.
is the above debatable?
