Tim Young replied to Tim Young's discussion Being right"Well I AM essentially talking about opinion. Because really - that is all there is.
Even if everyone on the earth agrees on something does that make it a fact or does that just mean they share the same opinion?"

Tim Young posted a discussionBeing right
In a sense I want to blow up the words “right” and “wrong”. I want to banish them from my vocabulary.More specifically I do not ever wish to BE right.And I do not ever want to say to someone else “you are WRONG”. What is the purpose of being or proving oneself to be, right? And what is the purpose of proving someone else is wrong?Apart from some sort of ego based sense of satisfaction what is the purpose of these things? Can anyone give me an answer to this question? If someone says something…See More
