Being Right

“Indeed, this need of individuals to be right is so great that they are willing to sacrifice themselves, their relationships, and even love for it.”
~ Reuel Howe, author of The Miracle of Dialogue

Many people choose to be right rather than happy. They will argue to the bitter end about the “rightness” of their thoughts and actions.  They do not care about what they are doing to the people they are arguing with.

Why do they behave this way?  Are they perfect?  No, few of us could claim to be that.  They are simply unwilling to view their fallibility and confess to the weaknesses that come along with being human.

When you are willing to give up being right, you will find peace and happiness.  It is when you are ready to learn that you will be right.

If you wish to be happy and free, give up having to be right all the time.

Peace,
