Its a funny world we live in. The lives we lead are all so different, so unique. It amazes me how many different versions of the truth or right there can be from just one situation and several witnesses. It makes me realise that there is no truth, and no right or wrong. Just interpretation.
Although I love this theory, I realise that its a double edges sword, since I just loooove to be right. Sometimes I will battle to the death to prove my righteousness, only to be left with a lifeless corpse on my hands. Its relationship homicide. Unfortunately I often get this after Ive killed them off, realising that the only thing Ive really proved is that Im a big fat jerk.
When Im fighting to be right and dismissing the other persons point of view, Im actually loosing so much more. People will either resist me or sacrifice themselves in order to shut me up (theyre still resisting in silence, by the way). Either way, I come off being a jerk. And in case you havent noticed, people dislike jerks. Its all about making people around you feel good about themselves, right (pardon the pun)? I need to remember this next time Im shoving my (most likely stupid) opinion down...
