Better to be understood than right

Posted on by philipdodson

When we respect and empathise with people who share a different viewpoint from us, we massively increase the opportunity for dialogue and discussion.

When we fear, judge and shame others for their views, we only create more division.

After all, opinions are just opinions, because we have them, it does not make them right or, in fact, wrong. They are neither, they are our set of temporary mental forms based on our level of consciousness and experiences at that moment in time.

Sadly, when we allow our ego to get attached to our viewpoint, then there is always the fight ‘to death’ approach to defend them at all costs. Then others will simply reflect that and no dialogue occurs only hatred.

When we are free from attachment, at peace within regarding differing views, then we can air ours without any need to be right. Strangely, others then mirror our light and let go of their attachment too. This is how human souls can communicate without fear and with love instead. It’s sharing our light and peaceful intention that creates a chance for discussion.

If we want to be heard we have to listen and understand others first and then let go of our need to be right. Better to be understood, than right.

Build what you want to see in the world

The only way to make lasting change is if we are the example to follow, not the anger to shame others.

Telling others they are wrong never goes well, it’s an ego thing!

Shaming others is another failed way to get them to change.

Brutality doesn’t lead to change, it leads to more brutality.

There has been anti this and anti that forever…the real change makers build something different and live by example. They share their love for something for others to be inspired by.

Everything always starts with our inner state, when we are at peace and disconnected from our story and ego, we project the light from our soul for others to see and choose, if they want, to follow our lead, our example, they are energised by our positive vibrations and light. They can be inspired by our passion and love for our ideas.

Start to build the thing you want to see in the world, don’t waver or worry about others…equally, don’t judge or criticise others, and maybe what you build others will want too.
