Do you receive a sense of empowerment when you are right about something?

Answer 1

If it's about being right for rights's sake alone, then no because that is ego. When you are right about knowledge, the kind that comes from your spirit, then you have not so much a sense of empowerment, but more of excitement. You have learned something. That is what being right is about. You are empowered from your learnings and epiphanies. But, not in the sense of I'm right and you're wrong. One is ego, the other is on a spiritual level.

Answer 2

No. You only get than sense if others believe you to be right. It's not enough to be right. You must be perceived by others as being right. This also means that it is not necessary to actually be right. Watch "Thank You For Smoking" to see what I'm talking about.

Answer 3

all the time. it's called intellectual snobbery and can be every bit as difficult for others to deal with as classicism or racism. it's not easy being right all the time when people can't even see the light!

Answer 4

I don't know if I would classify it as a felling of empowerment.
I think a sense of gratification and /or self worth would be more accurate.
It's called being human.

Answer 5

Of course. I try not to get too cocky, but isn't it fun when you're right? Unless you KNOW you're right, and someone is arguing with you just for the argument, then it's not too uplifting.

Answer 6

Obsolutely. And a sense of sanity.

Answer 7

No, I'm right so much of the time, I don't want to get that way.

Answer 8

Yes, I do, mostly because I'm wrong about everything else! Well, according to my mother, that is.

Answer 9

For a while. Then I just got used to it.

Answer 10

if you are right about something and it doesn't hurt anyone, then sure why not!
