All I Know is One of Us is Right and The Other One is You.

A little statement to all my Taurus sign friends out there:

Being stubborn is like a rite of passage for a Taurus.

They come out of the womb already set in their ways.

It got me smiling.

Why people always need to be right? Is it our ego? Our desire for control? Or is it simply the way our brains are wired? Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?

We've all been in situations where we know we are right, but continuing to argue the point will only lead to further conflict and hurt feelings. So, what do we do? Do we keep pushing, or do we let it go in the name of preserving our own happiness and the happiness of those around us?

I think the answer is clear: happiness should always be our top priority. Sure, being right can feel good in the moment, but it's not worth sacrificing our relationships and our overall well-being.

At the core of this issue is our sense of ego. Our ego is the part of us that wants to feel important, validated, and in control. It's the part of us that seeks out praise and recognition for our accomplishments, and it can be very hard to set aside. When we get into arguments or disagreements with others, our ego often takes over. We become so invested in proving our point and being right that we forget about the other person's feelings and the impact that our words and actions are having on them. The problem with this approach is that it can be very damaging to our relationships. When we prioritize being right over being happy, we can come across as stubborn, argumentative, and dismissive of others' opinions and feelings. On the other hand, when we prioritize happiness over being right, we open ourselves up to compromise and understanding. We become more willing to listen to other perspectives, and we're able to find solutions that work for everyone involved. Of course, this doesn't mean that we should always let other people have their way. There are certainly times when it's important to stand up for ourselves and assert our needs and boundaries. But even in those situations, it's possible to do so in a way that is respectful and considerate of others' feelings. Ultimately, the key to finding the right balance between being right and being happy is to cultivate a sense of humility and empathy. We need to be willing to admit when we're wrong, and we need to be open to learning from others. We also need to be able to put ourselves in other people's shoes and consider how our words and actions are affecting them. So, the next time you find yourself in a situation where you feel like you need to be right, take a step back and ask yourself: is this really worth sacrificing my happiness, my energy and my relationships? And remember, as the great philosopher Socrates once said, "The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing".
