      I'm Right

      A told-as-true story tells about the tombstone inscription, "I told you I was sick!" Another story describes a visit to the doctor by a patient, unhappy with the diagnosis. He said, "I've been to three other doctors and none of them agreed with your opinion." The doctor calmly replied, "Just wait until the autopsy, then they'll see that I was right."

      Both stories depict the mindset of many today. Being wrong is not even feasable. Even when everything else points the other direction, we remain steadfast . . . facing the other way. We've already made up our mind and don't want to be bothered with the facts.

      I Was Wrong

      Some of the most important words (other than I Love You) that can be said are, "I was wrong. Forgive me." It's been said that God gave us two ears and one mouth because we should listen twice as much as we talk.

      Some issues are black and white, with no room for so-called tolerance. But everything else is an opportunity. You might just be surprised what you can learn when you are willing to admit mistakes and really hear what others are saying.
