Always Proving Ourselves Is A Recipe For Disaster

With our current president, President Joe Biden, and his 2020 US presidential rival Donald Trump, I see both sides' supporters react to the results.

Some are happy and proud that they voted for Joe Biden.

Some are saddened that Donald Trump lost.

Although both sides have their own emotions and political views that conflict with one another, both sides deserve to be heard.

The result of the election is just a façade of the views of the many, but the main problem still exists with humanity.

The problem is a never ending battle of who is right and who is wrong.

Some people will go many miles just to prove they are right in a situation and disprove the other side.

My question to you people is that is it worth all the efforts to prove to others we are correct?

I think we do not have to prove ourselves to others because I think that is not what life is about.

Also, proving ourselves to others will not solve the problem but will actually make it worse.

People will believe what they want to believe because they have the power over their own thoughts and beliefs.

We humans are not perfect beings and always proving we are right in any given situation will just cause pain to ourselves and hurt others at the same time.

If we really want to see a change in the world and we all live in a better society, it starts with our own selves by getting to know ourselves better.

What makes us really happy?

What makes us sad?

What makes us tingle and our emotions raised?

After answering all those question, let us ask ourselves those questions again.

Do the things we say that make us happy really make us happy?

Do the things that make us sad really make us sad?

Then, let us try to project ourselves to another person on the other side and let him or her say to us the same things we say.

Listen to our own selves from a different person as if that we are speaking from the other person's perspective.

Do we like what he or she says to us?

If we like what we hear, then we are probably headed the right path.

If we do not like what we hear, something maybe missing or wrong.

Let us try to modify our statements so it will sound better, correct and not hurting other people.

If everything fails and we really cannot make a concise statement and decision of the right thing to say, let us think past our statements and let our imaginations run wild.

Imagine we are on top of a mountain and about to fall down to the bottom if we make the wrong choices of words to speak and actions to take.

If we are in this situation, wouldn't we have the energy and quick to think of all the different possibilities of actions to take to save ourselves from falling down the mountain and force us to make the right decisions?
