Am I right

Sometimes I ask myself the question, Am I right?
Now when we trade in measurable data or exact information then being right is important. It is also important when dealing with things like torque specifications or a medical diagnosis; things where right and wrong can be an issue. Most often though when we are insistent that we are Right; it is opinions, interpretations and points of view.
But when dealing with things like opinions, interpretation and points of view there often is not a clear cut right or wrong. Opinions, interpretations and points of view should in fact be shared and received with an open mind, so that it is a give and take of ideas. Unfortunately it is too easy to have a death grip on our own ideas, to relinquish that grip requires us to in essence make ourselves vulnerable. It also requires us to be open to the idea of change within our own thinking; deep down I think we are all afraid of change that we do not initiate.
Lately I have been trying to ask myself, Am I right and do I have to be right? If I am being honest then most of the time the answer should be, Maybe so and probably not.
