Holding my tongue
I find it it really hard to hold my tongue on a particular forum. I really have to try my darndest to leave things alone. What I have learnt though is people really see things in a different light. I always think to myself, nobody could see something differently to me. Everyone must see the same line of thought as me, but it's just not the case.
What I see as clearly being right, other people see as wrong. I get such a shock when people react in a different way to my way of thinking. I look at myself and say, am I crazy, am I blind, what aren't I seeing that someone else is seeing, can't they see it as clear as daylight?
But I guess the answer is, we all are quite different and yes are brains react quite differently too. So that begs the question, is there ever a right answer? If not that's pretty scary!

It's not scary at all. If 3 different people on 3 different paths asked you for directions to a particular landmark, you'd not give them all the same instructions, would you? Left, left again and then a right 2 streets later might get ONE of them there, but even if it's the right answer for that person, it'd get the others hopelessly lost. Doesn't mean you're seeing something they're not, or that you're crazy or blind. Just means you're standing in a different place.
Life isn't about 'right', though. It's about growth. The focus on being right is something that unfortunately our education system trains into us from an early age - the education system designed for the industrial era when people needed to be molded into employees who would follow instructions. Those conditions no longer apply, but the system hasn't changed.
These days I believe that it's not so much about what's 'right', as it is about what's right for you
