“To be kind or to be right” , always choose to be kind.

Hey folks, I have some “facts” for you. Sorry, some opinions or viewpoints, not “facts”.

 

What you argue about, and do your best about to convince others that you are 100% “right” about something, about whatever it is.

 

I am sorry to point out. All that stuff you are defending. They are not the undeniable “truths”. They are just your opinions or viewpoints. It’s entirely possible that those viewpoints are not as permanent as you “believe” they are.

 

If we take the view that they are not undeniably right, 100% solid and permanent. Then the wise thing to do is to accept them as mere viewpoints and not get all hang up about them.

 

The moment we shift our mind. We become the boss of our action. We can choose between being kind or being right.

 

Being kind and being grateful that we realise we have a viewpoint, not a “truth”, will liberate us from many of the sufferings which imprison us. And save our relationships. Perhaps avoid a few wars and murders too!
