Never think that you can convince a person about the truth. That includes you. Theres no way to lead nor be led to the truth using logical and rational reasoning.

You have to want the truth and desire the truth, then you will be gifted with the truth. But if you want to be an intellectual, a philosopher, a debater, and a theory nut you will probably continue in that for the rest of your life, because you’re not sincere about the truth. You are just convincing others of your debate and argument skills and it will lead to nowhere.
