right and wrong

Right and Wrong. I am thinking of this a little differently. Have you ever been right about something but handled it in a way that you were wrong? Being right is not the only consideration. Sometimes we can be so demeaning, hurtful, or arrogant about something that the issue totally changes.

I have run into people on both sides of some social issue that are so insistent that they are right. In their rightness they have crushed others. And so then they have become wrong.

There is something in the good book about "if I have all knowledge, but have not love." We should take it to heart. How we speak to one another is as important if not more important than your opinion on some issue. Love covers all. if love isn't there, then we may be technically right, but we are also a clanging cymbal.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.

"Do unto others...." or "say unto others in the manner you'd like them to say unto you, seems to apply so well to what you've shared." May our angry, caustic world become kinder.
