Are you a "right fighter"?

Ostensibly, when you engage in an argument it is because of differing views. Are you able to see someone else’s point of view – or do you have to be right? Does winning (to you) equate to being right? If the other person walks away feeling battered & belittled, have you won? I have a friend who truly believes that having the last word means they’ve won. Sometimes I don’t even think she feels confident in her adamant stances, but she’s determined to win.
Is an empty victory still a victory?
