Simplified Meaning:

When you argue with someone who is not making sense or is acting foolishly, it can make both of you look bad. Imagine you see two people arguing loudly on the street. You don't know either of them, so it's hard to tell who is being logical and who is being unreasonable. From a distance, both people seem equally foolish. To avoid this, it's better to stay calm and not get into pointless arguments with people who won't listen to reason. This way, you don't lower yourself to their level and others won't mistakenly think you're also foolish. For example, if someone at work tries to provoke you with silly comments, it's smarter to ignore them or respond calmly rather than getting dragged into a heated debate. This approach helps maintain your dignity and shows others that you can handle situations sensibly.
