"Do you want to be right?"

DO YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT?

I heard a funny story about a cowboy who ambled into the local
blacksmith shop and picked up a horseshoe, not realizing it had just
come from the forge. He immediately dropped the hot shoe, shoved his
seared hand into his pocket and tried to act nonchalant.

The blacksmith half smiled and asked, "Kinda hot, wasn't it?"

"Nope," replied the cowboy, "just don't take me long to look at a
horseshoe, that's all."

I chuckle because I don't enjoy admitting mistakes, either. Nope, I'm
fine.I meant to do that.

Furthermore, when I think I'm right, I usually want people to know
it. And when I'm IN THE RIGHT, it's hard to hold me back. "Hey, I'm
the injured party here. I didn't do anything wrong. I can prove it!"
I don't suffer righteous indignation quietly.
