Would you rather be happy or right?
Sometimes I feel a need to prove myself “right” or to win a disagreement simply as a way of making me feel worthy – or to make the other person realize that I am knowledgeable, important, persuasive etc. I may need to be right because I don’t have enough self-worth to accept that I might be wrong. Trying to be right often brings contention and conflict. I could simply chose to be happy instead of worrying about who is right. Often, the only way to win a fight is to walk away from it.
