People love being right.
It gives us that warm feeling of self-satisfaction.
Aha! I am right.
Aha! My truth is more true.
Aha! Got you.
Because of that feeling, we simply feel…
Important
Needed
Smart
And there’s nothing wrong with that,
as long as…
we don’t start feeling at the same time
— more important than the other person
standing in front of us.
We love comparing authorities,
quoting wise books,
and crossing swords in verbal battles.
But does anyone really know Jesus?
Has anyone talked to him?
Maybe invited him into their home?
What would he say about all these arguments of ours?
About these “important” differences?
Didn’t he speak about values?
Values that other great teachers
in other religions also talk about?
Why do we always look for differences between us?
And isn’t strength sometimes in the whole?
When I focus on lack — I have lack.
When I focus on fullness — my eyes start looking for similarities.
It works like this in every area.
Can someone ask Jesus?
P.S. And now…
place any of your own truths in the place of Jesus.
Think.
Look.
Observe.
Feel what is truly yours
and what is not.
