One of the surest ways to cause yourself great suffering is to insist upon being right - to demand that all others view life exactly as you view it.

Why should it impede your happiness for others to have differing views on politics or religion? for others to paint their houses purple or grow asparagus in place of a grassy lawn? for others to dress, mingle, celebrate, or dine in their own manner?

The path to happiness is to live your life joyfully in your own way and to support and encourage others to do likewise.

Happy because I know even when I think so I'm not always right

Happiness, sometimes trying to be right only causes conflicts & sometimes it leads to fighting. There is enough fighting going on, without more I just try & think positive thoughts.

I had all of the above in my mind, too. Donna

I can remember when my children were young I always told them "I may not always be right, but I ain't never wrong". Man, how many times have I regretted those words? The sad thing was that I had them convinced. LOL... Glad I could make amends for some of those times.
