once you think you're right you're wrong?

Question

Am I right?

Answer 1

No. Some people that think they are right actually are right! It's those that are wrong but believe they are right that are really wrong. & it's not good to be self-righteous or arrogant or believe that you know it all but it's ok to believe something that's true & to say so!

I think I'm right!

:)

Answer 2

Sometimes brevity is more useful, sometimes less.
You can get to New York from Chicago by travelling in an easterly direction or you could get there by going in a westerly direction.
You could gain wisdom in this lifetime by making mistakes or you could die before gaining any.
From one point of view, say that of the absolute, you must be right eventually. From that of the now, wrong.
Be aware that information is the strongest weapon being used to keep people ignorant by those who profit from it.
Anger is the product of a lazy mind. Where do you think that leaves censorship? War? Judging? Exclusion? The idea of right and wrong? Better to spend time and energy in the other direction right now, but it is not necessarily a popular choice for half of the human race. Why?
This brings up a great question, and then another, and then....?

Answer 3

Is it not this better than those who think that they are ( or will be ) always wrong and never get started in life?

I think this inner feeling that they are right is the only motivation for them to go on further. If you analyse the actions or decisions of any top manager minutely you will notice that all their decisions are not instantaneous. They are right decisions for each small problem or situation they confront and theu keep on this right decision making process till the very end to acieve their goal..

Also , in the proces of making right decisions , whenever "wrong " decisions crop up they are like warning indicators or correctors on the way.

Answer 4

This is an interesting question and I actually must agree to that. If I THINK in my head that I am right, I am actually really usually wrong.
But if I have an intuition more in my heart or solar plexus area, then I am usually right.

Answer 6

most times it isn't about being right, but that it leads to more questions. Does this mean it is wrong? No. Everything always leads to more questions, and the more questions the more answers and therefore the more information to sort through and filter.

Answer 7

Looks more like a fuzzy logic question rather than a Philosophy question. Say, if a cab driver has a bumber sticker that says "Dont trust me". You have to trust the guy to not sit in his cab and not trust to sit in it.

Answer 8
