Recently, I read the same information on several websites, which begins with the following words, “in spite of fakes and their owners, as well as minor leaflets and websites.” It does not matter what the subject is about, it is important that the message begins with “in spite of” which at least diverts the attention of the content of information, and often “sinks” people in senseless disputes. In addition, if you inform something “in spite of”, then you absolutely are not indifferent about those whom you are trying to reverse, and do not consider them “minor”. Ultimately, the reader may not know, in spite of what allegations you have decided to publish this-or-that news.
It is a common thing in the news media. The official or the leader of a political party instructs it subject PR structure or directly the media, “Hey, give a good vilification to them,” and here is the text is born, where in addition to positive, there is also a negative composition. For example, «A is not equal to B (a positive allegation). But there are some wrong people, who talk rot by the order of their masters that А is equal to B (a negative allegation).” Although it is clear that the first part as something to say is quite enough.
But, often, not only the media field is guided by the logic of “in spite of”. In the 90’s, I have often heard from government representatives saying, “in spite of the opposition, we will establish our statehood.” I am sure that this kind of thinking is wrong, the state should be established by all citizens, regardless of their views. Moreover, this is possible only by combining the efforts of different-minded people. Unless, of course, we are talking about a democratic state, and any other way than this, to tell the truth, I do not see. Perhaps, we have not yet built our dreamt state just because we often act in spite of each other, in determent to each other.
This is why I think that in the inner life – in politics and business, there should not be opponents, the opponent is beyond our borders, and we are obligated to destroy him during any harassment. In Armenia, there are only competitors who do not interfere with each other, moreover, they supplement each other.

Nothing is born as a result of the logic “in spite of”. Disputes, conflicts and wars are born. Delusion of mentally unbalanced people underlies this logic, according to which life is a struggle for some good things, and if the good thing has not reached you, then your opponent will get it. In this case, your actions are directed not for the sake of good things, but in spite of your opponent.
Whereas, as Mahatma Gandhi said, the only way to live is to let others live.
