Two Rights Don't Make a Wrong

I have said it before and I will say it again. Everyone thinks they are right. That much is expected, but it is unimportant and unnecessary most of the time, to persuade anyone else of that. Let your own certainty be enough to satisfy your pride. If you are compelled to do so simply present your case and move on. You do not need to, and could not possibly right all the wrongs of this world.
Better yet, if your ego allows, remain silent and listen without concern for response. You may discover a perspective you couldn't possibly have even considered.
We are limited by our own experience, but we certainly don't have to be. Just as two wrongs don't make a right, two rights don't always make a wrong.
I have found that some of the most crucial pieces of advice in the Bible require us to simply be still and silent so that God may work. He does not require our assistance, though He may allow it. Shift your focus and you will see that you are more likely to see His work by looking internally than externally.
Men may convince the mind, but it is God that convicts the heart.
Just a thought...
