Not everything is logical.

Sometimes you need to give up, or put off things because you realize the one you are talking to is through.

It may be personal, but not necessarily so. Everyone has a limit, a place beyond which they are unable, or unwilling,  to tolerate dissension, or even questioning.

There is so much truth in the phrase, you cannot beat a dead horse. Of course you CAN beat a dead horse, but the only one who is possibly going to change -- is you. And while that might be considered a good thing, it's probably not what you are looking for.

So when you find yourself in the middle of a rant, yours, or someone else's, back off.

Time is generally not of the essence in most things, but it is the great healer.
