Right or good?
The question in the title "right or good" has a significant importance in our day to day lives as Christians. Many times I find myself in the middle of an argue and I forget to ask myself this extremely important question, am I trying to be right or good?
Fr Mel in his book "Bread & Water, Wine and Oil" said: "Unfortunately, being right is not what people really need, even though a great deal of their lives may be taken up in its pursuit. Defense of the ego is almost always a matter of trying to be right. Interestingly enough, Jesus never once suggested to His disciples that they should be right. What he did demand is that they be righteous".
"There is a little doubt that if a further nuclear war ever takes place, it will be because the person pushing the button believes himself to be right. About something."
