Being Right vs. Being True
// September 21st, 2009 // 3 Comments » // My Thoughts
In today’s society, truth is becoming more and more a rarity. People are more interested in being right, than they are in finding truth. I actually wonder sometimes if people are afraid to know the truth, that somehow they feel better if they can continue believing what they believe. For me, knowing truth is exciting and it challenges me to constantly remain open to things that I haven’t thought about yet. Many of my posts here are about finding truth, about being true, not about me being right. In my search for truth I have often come against some pretty serious opposition, people that cared more about being right, than knowing truth.
The good thing about truth is that it can be questioned and poked and prodded and it still remains as true as it ever was.
so how about you? have you been more interested in truth? or being right? let me know!
