That was my typical bratty line I would say to people everytime I was right about something. I always thought I was right about everything. In fact, I was right even when I was wrong! Honestly, its a great feeling to be right, we all know that.
“Start being wrong and everything is possible.”
Once you prove you are right, it is set in stone. You cannot move with other ideas because once you are right, it is hard to be open to them. Once you are right, your mind is closed. Trust me, I know. You might be thinking that you dont care, you like being right and that is all. You might be thinking you will consider other ideas regardless. This is because we know that being right has a certain “tone” to it. If you arent right, it makes you out to be the dumber one, or the weaker one. People who are right would hate to be thought fallible. Being wrong makes everything possible and so many more ideas will come your way. You will no longer be rigid minded and defensive. Open up a little and suddenly everything is possible. Consider other ideas and concepts you may not feel are “right” and expand your thinking. Soak up everything that life can give you. I am no longer going to argue my point until I am right. I want to be wrong. I want to learn more. I want to understand how others think. I want all that. Always wanting to be right made me a defensive person, and I am better than that.
Bottom-Line: It’s wrong to be right and it’s right to be wrong. Expand your ideas and understandings. No one wants to be around someone with a stick up their ass.
