The Right To Be Wrong
http://www.queensjournal.ca/media/stories/v135/i39/local-musician-luther-wright.jpg
I never liked Luther Wright and The Wrongs. I respect
the fact that he's been around in the Canadian music
scene for eons...but that's not necessarily a good thing.
Having said that, though, I really don't know much of
his catalogue at all and should probably delve a little
deeper into his music before making such an assenine
assumption. In fact, to say that I never liked Luther
Wright and The Wrongs is a total carpet statement
because I have never fairly assessed his music. Wow.
I am an ass.

I love being wrong. In fact, this is something I am
learning more and more about myself. When I'm wrong,
it gives me a chance to grow and mature and develop
what I believe. If I was right all the time, the world
would be a pretty fucked up place. My relationships
would only be one-sided. I would use my rightness
against others and let friends think they were winning
arguments only to slam home the truth and rub it in
their faces. I would tell my wife what to do all the
time.

I also love being wrong when it comes to my
assumptions and cheap judgments about people. Today
I had a really good talk with someone who I haven't
connected with in a while. We've been in the same
circles a lot but we haven't had the chance (nor the
desire) to sit down and hash some things out. I was
wrong about this guy - and I'm very thankful for
that wrongness.

'See if there is any (wrong or) offensive way in me
and lead me in the way everlasting.'
