The desire to always be right

What I directly associate with unhappiness is the desire to always be right.

What a nonsense? But sometimes it seems like a matter of life or death. Because of the need to be right, the friendships are sacrificed, relationships are broken, immediate family members get angry. Because of persistent keeping your position, people determine themselves to pain and stress even though there is no single truth.

Everything in the world has two sides, and they are very close to each other – like coins in a wallet.

Simple example: the circle has 360 degrees, the sum of the squares angles (90 degrees x 4) is also 360 degrees. Does this mean that a square is the same as a circle? No.

Are you fairer than a friend? Not necessarily. So, do not stick to your “rightness”.
