Opinions

Why do families like to hurt each other?
They fight sister and brother
No one is totally right
Yet they feel they must fight
For an idea both have in mind
Yet no one will ever find
That they are totally right
But yet there must be a fight
To prove who is best
And to forget all the rest
Someday they will both be gone
And no one will remember who was wrong
We need to forget our pride
And hold our arms out wide
To love and forget and forgive
Because no one needs to be vindictive

A sad reality. I have found letting others be right is the best way to maintain the peace. The things people fight about are rarely that important.

You are absolutely correct. One does not always need to be right even if you are Love Mom

Some people just need to be right no matter what. Sad thing is that they are the losers in the whole affair. Lots of love is missed by being right. Life is too short to be so stubborn. Thanks for the visit and hugs to you Edith
