Do I have to be right always...Should I thrive to be right?!?!

This occurred to me while I was driving to work this morning that a huge portion of my emotional matter is invested in my effort to be right...and then the thought followed as to whether it is the right thing to do at any given instant of time & space. The brutal reality is the conditioned thought always make you believe that what you have done, have been doing, will do has to be rationalised & justified with parameters that you have set for yourself, to be right. So this effort to be right is just feeding into your conditioned conscience, but does that really do what you want it to do - say for argument sake, keep people happy around you.

My friend at work, Saman, pointed out in a discussion yesterday the need for keeping people around you comfortable if we are to make the point and get them to take it the way it is intended. He was referring to a conversation that I had with him about democracy and how I have seen it work with all its nuances and subtilities, swinging between the extremes, in my more than 3 decades of existence. This conversation I reckon is a classical example, more than trying to make the person feel at ease with my point of discussion, my hyperstate takes the essence of the discussion away and what I am trying to make the person understand as being right is not right but my PUSH.

Is that what is real or is it just an emotional surge, does it really have to be like that, would it not be better to contain the emotions and focus on facts, Should I thrive to win that argument rather than just let the RIGHT just take its due course and come out on its own merit.

Yes let it free, you dont own anything, this moment is captured and you sink in to it and then let it go...wait for the next moment embrace it, make the most out of it. Bottomline is you dont have to be right or rather nobody expects you to be right all the time. Give yourself the chance to be not right and let it go...
