“Conflicting Truths” Zoom-Out

How it's not always “I'm right, so you must be wrong!”

We love to be correct or at least be seen to be correct. We will go to great lengths to avoid being perceived as having got something wrong. We can even deny reality itself. We refuse to accept being wrong or perceived as being wrong. We may cover it up, brush it under the carpet and hope people forget.

“One of the greatest human failings, is to prefer to be right than to be effective” — Stephen Fry

Human reality is subjective, complex, and messy. Only sometimes is one thing right, which makes the other wrong.

Consider this scenario:

---

We derive different and unique perspectives from the
same objective reality.

Perspectives may be conflicting and indeed contradictory.
Yet both may be valid truths.

---

Let’s shine some more light on the subject.

Some green light.

Some red light.

Both can be true!

Let’s be mindful of thinking
“I am correct so
you are wrong!”
It’s just possible that you both may be correct.
