There is a great saying that Tara Brach often uses: “The world is divided into people who are right.” I was reminded of that when I read this quote from the book The Tao of Conversation by Michael Kahn:
“If I ever could be freed from having to prove I'm right, prove you're wrong, decide which of our competing views is right, then new possibilities open up. If your view is different from mine, once I'm freed from the “rightness” problem, I can listen to it with considerable interest to see if it contains some beauty or delight for me.”
