As I reflected on the year gone by as a prelude to doing better in the year to come I realized how many times I (and others) have caused strife and sometimes done serious relationship damage with no?benefit whatever in an effort to ?be right.? I?ve discovered three stages of rightosis: 1) certainty that I am right about something or someone, 2) a desire to be sure others know I am (or was) right, and 3) a desire to have another person not only acknowledge I was right, but that they were wrong. Reasons #2 and 3 are pretty pathetic signs of egotism, but what about #1? Well even if I could be silently and anonymously right (and my certainty is no evidence that I really am right), it?s rare that it really matters to anyone but me whether I?m right or not. The pursuit of being right is a habit I?d like to break. How about you?
