2021.09.11 | Even though we may be right, if we attach to that rightness, it turns wrong. It’s normal for everyone in the world to have their own views, but if we each cling on to our own, there will be no end to the arguments and chaos. So we must learn to lay aside our opinions and listen to others, reflecting on what they have to say. And who knows? Maybe they actually are correct. But it’s only when we get to the heart of the matter—the place where right and wrong cease to exist—that we can find real peace.
