The need to be right, to diminish another person in order to gain a greater sense of self, is a subtle kind of violence. If we gain our sense of identity from this process, we will perpetually be looking for conflict and enemies, subconsciously surrounding ourselves with negativity, compulsively bringing pain to ourselves and those around us. We’ll always be looking for the next problem, the next argument. To define ourselves through conflict in this way is to forever deny ourselves peace.
