If You Wanna Be Lonely

…….then always be right.

Do you know someone that always needs to be right? I think I can be like that. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think that being right all the time is necessarily a bad thing. Don’t lie.

I think that makes it bad is the need to be right – the need to dominate every conversation. I try not to be like that.

I’ve been thinking about that line all day, and I think of people that need it. They are lonely. They don’t have friends. Nobody wants to be around them because they are never wrong. If any of them were to read this post, they’d say that I was wrong so although I won’t name them, I’m not to worried about it.

Can you think of anyone like that? Do they need to be right always? Are they lonely? Are you?

Humility. Nice. If being humble is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

  I love it. It’s so true.
  I think you can be right and wise. The humility makes you not need to be right all the time – even though you might be right all the time. Those kinds of people are more fun to be around.
