Do you find that some people can never be wrong?

Even if they are and they most likely know it?

 

Just sayin'

 

Nothing wrong with being wrong, making mistakes and apologizing is there?

Here are some wise words:

 

BEING RIGHT, MAKING WRONG 

 

There is nothing that strengthens the ego more than being right. Being right is identification with a mental position a perspective, an opinion, a judgment, a story. For you to be right, of course, you need someone else to be wrong, and so the ego loves to make wrong in order to be right. In other words: you need to make others wrong in order to get a stronger sense of who you are. Not only a person, but also a situation can be made wrong through complaining and reactivity, which always implies that this should not be happening. Being right places you in a position of imagined moral superiority in relation to the person or situation that is being judged and found wanting. It is that sense of superiority the ego craves and through which it enhances itself.

In one line of work I was engaged in we all were right so that kind of puts S T in the wrong.

PS The odd one that was wrong we buried 🙂 as we were defusing explosives.

LOL but isn't this about those who feel they are never wrong? Of course we are all wrong sometimes.  I used to hate that saying two wrongs don't make a right.  As a kid my argument was never does a wrong and a right.  As an adult at least we are half way there lol!

 

While I dislike someone being really dogmatic in my face, I try to understand why they have formed the opinions they have and what motivates them and me to beleive what we do.  Of course OH always tells me I think too much LOL

I sometimes think Dr Karl can never be wrong, but he alway's admits he doesn't know womething and tells an off topic scientific  tid bit to make up for the fact that question requires a specialist in that field to answer.
