Kinda Right

It isn't very often that I get to hear someone say, "You know, you were right." Just to set the record straight, however, I am quite often right. As a matter of fact, I would venture to say that I am almost always right. Yeah, right.

We seem to stress so much on being right that we will be right no matter what. I am sure you all know someone that will do whatever it takes to prove they are right, you may even be that person. We all have the inherent need to be right. Nothing wrong with being right -  it's is how we portray it.

Today's word is an anonymous quote that says, "Being kind is more important than being right. Sometimes, people need a caring heart to listen, not a brilliant mind to speak."

There are few things that sting as much as the words, "I told you so." I have heard that expression many times in my life because I am often bent on proving my "rightness". It is a shame, the lengths I have gone to prove my "rightness". I find myself, at times, willing to discount other peoples' opinions and feelings just to prove how right I am. Man, there is something wrong with that.

The book of Ecclesiastes tells us that there is a time for everything under the sun. I wonder if there is a time to be right and a time to be wrong? Whether there is a time for being wrong or not is irrelevant. The fact is, from time to time, we are all wrong. And, the last thing we need is for someone to point out to us how wrong we are. So, let's be kind to others when they are wrong; we'll be wrong again ourselves. But, even when I am wrong, I believe I am still kinda right. Don't you?

Be Blessed,
