Robert, I can completely commiserate! I used to often wonder exactly the same thing. In fact, I am not sure that I don't still (perhaps even not so secretly...) believe the same thing. I think we form opinions based on our life experience, so what rings true for one person (their "rightness) is often not true for another (their "rightness"). What I hope I have realized is that (*although I am still right*) I can be open to another rightness based on a different life experience, which ultimately will either come around to my way of thinking or I shall come around to a different way of thinking. EVen to get here took me quite a while. I have also learned that to insist on being 'right' when it comes to important relationships can be fatal for the relationship. I guess I have learned to hold my natural instincts in abeyance (or at least hide them better!) Don't know if that helps!
