HELLOOOOOOOO WORLD!!
It's been a while.
SOOO 2020???
That's a whole other conversation.
Well, several conversations actually.
Right now I have something to say about our need as people to be "right" and make others "wrong"
I'm a fairly opinionated person. I'm Jamaican and culturally I'm used to people telling me their opinions. Whether I asked for it or not, whether I care to hear it or not, even if I like it our not, they're gonna tell me.
That's the programe I was taught.
As I got older I figured something out, I'm completely open to being wrong by the way, I think one of the problems we have as people is our habit of making other people wrong so that we can be right.
Let me explain further. Let's say I have a perception, belief, experience and I'm 100% positive that that's my truth. I then talk to my friend Carol who has an different or opposite, perception, belief, experience to mine. I say to her she's wrong. I don't say she's wrong because I logically disagree with her. I say she's wrong because we cant both be right, can we???
For me it's not about right our wrong. I feel like I'm in a space were even if I don't agree, understand or even respect your perspective. I can at least honor that it's yours. It's your truth, it differs to mine and just leave that right there. We can even agree to disagree if you're a responsible person.
In my heart I believe that from that place, that filter, we would save ourselves a lot of hurt, pain, arguments, not just as individuals but as the human race.
That's just me. I have no problem if someone else has a different opinion.
SIDE NOTE:
When someone makes me wrong or just refuses to acknowledge my perspective, I'm done listening to them FULL STOP!!
I did a live on my Facebook page where I go into this point a little more
Feel free to take a look Don't make me wrong so you can be right Facebook Live
