Choosing Kindness Over Rightness, a skillful behavior, is the benevolent path of loving-kindness. Skillful behaviors are those words and actions that increase peace and happiness in ourselves and also in those around us. Loving-kindness, also called unlimited friendliness, is the root of Choosing Kindness Over Rightness, and is the application of unlimited love to dissatisfaction and suffering, both to your own and to that of others. It includes patience, receptivity, gratitude, and appreciation, and is a caring for the well-being of another person or persons without approving or disapproving of them, or expecting anything in return. It is the mind of equanimity.
Choosing Kindness Over Rightness always yields a bountiful life harvest, but having to be ‘right’ and blaming others decreases both our own serenity and also the peace of others. So if I Choose Kindness Over Rightness my reward is a happy and secure life and loving-kindness permeates my world. But if I insist on always being ‘right’ I am not living from my heart and am out of alignment both with myself and with my world. My reward then is friction, dissatisfaction, and sadness, and I’m submerged in continuous fear, guilt, and worry.
