Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right-and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to
1
others how their positions, statements, and points of view are
2
, and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow
3
it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been
4
by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.”? Or, has anyone you know ever
5
you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their
6
? Of course not. The truth is, all of us
7
to be corrected. We all want our positions to be
8
and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest
9
of the human heart. And those who learn to
10
are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the
11
of correcting others are often resented and
12
.
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise
13
others the joy of being right- give them the glory.
14
correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to:”, rather than jumping
15
and saying, “No, it’s more important to…:”, simply let it go and allow their statement to
16
. The people in your life will become less defensive and more
17 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 18
. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s
19
, which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos (自我). Starting today, let others be “
20
”, most of the time?
