I love to be right as does everyone. It is "normal" to want to be right. It does bring me to a thought though. I read somewhere that the need to be right can be compulsive. Wars have been fought over this need to be right and countless relationships have been broken down. Does it really matter if we are right or wrong? If we have a deeply compulsive need to be right, it is a form of violence. We can state clearly and firmly how we think or feel or what we think, but keep aggressiveness or defensiveness out of it. Watch out for any kind of defensiveness. What are we defending? The end of all arguments and power games, which are so corrosive to relationships, will end if we lose our attachment to the need to be right. Power over others is a weakness disguised as strength. The Holy Spirit is the source of true power, and He is very gentle. So while I love to be right, it is not nearly as important as just being at peace with who I am and letting others have their own beliefs without feeling threatened. So I kind of took a twist on the title of this post to present this week's topic, which is tolerance, or "live and let live".Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943644066987083569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701696884466140983.post-5245575633868360002008-06-18T05:47:00.000-07:002008-06-18T05:47:00.000-07:00"God is good, all the timeAll the time, He is good..."God is good, all the time<BR/>All the time, He is good.<BR/>We worship Him! <BR/>Hallelujah!
