"Only by being forced to defend an idea against the doubts and contrasting views of others does one really discover the value of that idea."
It is usually a dilemma for many of us to accept the statement" different or even opposite thoughts help us discover the value of our own ideas." On one hand, it is hard to admit that we have committed a fallacy; on the other hand, by defending our ideas against the doubts and contrasting views truly do positive impact on the discovery of the ideas.

First and foremost, if we are challenged by doubts and contrasting views, we will naturally refuse to accept them. Instead, it is likely that we would find sufficient evidence to defend our own ideas. In this circumstance, our horizon is broadened and our knowledge is enlarged. For a specific instance, debating is common all over the nation and throughout the world, which can be seen on the TV programs and be listened in every corner of streets. In order to persuade the other sides to believe us and view our opinion a correct one, we would search for relevant information on the Internet or dig it out in the library. In this process, we get a  deeper and more extensive understanding of the subject. Meanwhile, we would find out what on earth is problematic with our ideas and how can we overcome this flaw or drawback to make our ideas persuasive.

Secondly, when we are forced to defend our own ideas, we would locate them in the macro environment and conditions which help us interpret the true value of the idea. It is true that different ideas are limited by our subjective judgment, which make our ideas unfair or partial to some degree. For example,  we might hold the position that our economy should not be interrupted by the government; the market economy should emphasize on freedom. It is the typical idea of the classical economist and many of rich citizens. We insist that tax system does harm to free competition and therefore block the growth of the economy, which furthermore serves as barriers to social development. However, some socialists maintain that social transfer such as social assistance, social insurance and social welfare are crucial elements to keep the harmony of the society. If we do not help those people in danger and in risks, the solidity of the whole nation would be eliminated and consequently the well-being of the citizens would decline. If  the above two opposite opinion are separated from each other and no confliction or debating takes place, either of them would be narrow- minded and a little partial. Through defending their own position, both would know their importance for the society: for freedomism, competition is basic element to ensure the development of economy and the increase of national wealth, for the socialists, social solidity is prerequisite of the smoothly function of the society.

Finally, what should not be neglected is that through the process to defend our own idea, we may compromise and accept the truth. If so, the previous fallacious ideas are also helpful for they guide us to concern about certain subjects and learn more about them. There are many cases around us. Usually, we tend to follow the mass to accept what the majority support blindly. Challenged by some so-called heresy, we spare no effort to protect the fallacious ideas. Eventually, when the truth turns out, we might regret for our blindness and discover the innovative idea on the same subject to be a cherish one. Many conventional theories such as the earth is the central of the universe, two subjects of different weights do not land on the earth at the same time, are challenged by the latter genius and are eventually put into high place in the society.

All in all, we have benefit from the defense of our own ideas and find the underlying value of that idea. Neither should we deny the benefits of the previous fallacious ideas nor should we believe in the previous one blindly.
