the need to be right (all the time)is not good for alcoholics,it destroys more than it helps

I have a book,named,The 7 Deadly Needs by Edward Bear

good common sense reading

in it,one of the 7 Deadly Needs is the need to be right
if I have the need to be right,and we are discussing something,then what does that make you?
wrong
at best,different...at worst inferior...
the need to be right all the time comes with a price
whats the price?
peace,serenity,being a part of-- because the need to be right separates.......
what do we have to prove to each other or to ourselves?

2 people look at the same penny from different angles
one person looks at it from the side and says it looks oblong
one person looks at it from above and says it looks round
who is right and who is wrong?
both are right
to me,if I have the need to be right all the time,it sends in into a selfish area where i cannot have true friendship,fellowship with others or have a good deep peace with myself





Because it sucks to always be a loser. Probably just as much as it sucks to have to always be right.

absolutely,they may even feed off themselves
