Sometimes we want to prove we are right and hurt many people round us.
I would be kind and don't go out of the way to prove I am right and let there be peace and if the people are happy I am OK with that. It is important I know that I am right and do not need to prove it to others all the time.

Only until you get tired of being unhappy.

My brain just did a flip-flop. Is being happy more important than being right? I would say yes to this question.

If being right makes you happy, otherwise prob'ly not.

I don't think so. What are we being right about, happiness,sadness, the truth what? I'd rather be happy than be right any day!

Being happy is much more important. You can be right all the time and end up very lonely, especially if you're smug about being right.

I AM SORRY,BUT WHEN I CAN PROVE SOMEONE WRONG IT JUST FEELS SO RIGHT.

Yes when you stand up for what you believe in. Better is it that you be unhappy and right then to be happy but base that happiness on being wrong which is lying to yourself.
