BOTH if possible but I will not say I am wrong if I know I am right for the sake of peace > I will agree to differ.

I'll take be at PEACE over right anyday...

The two are not mutually exclusive,.....in my case! Inner peace is primary.

Preferably both. But the truth, in my mind, usually outweighs being friendly. I've wasted an entire day in a history class arguing about a test question. I was right, the next day the teacher consulted another teacher, and I got another point, which resulted in a higher grade. Should I have done that? No. Does the teacher hate me now and will he probably take off more points on future tests? Yes. But I CANNOT tolerate false information being accepted as correct and I now dislike all the people in my class who told me to just shut up and deal with it. Maybe I should have consulted the teacher outside of class, but the teacher let it happen it is his job to run the class.

if a person is sure he/she is right how can he/she be at peace till it is conveyed to all concerned?

Usually, I want to be right. But if it came to more prominent things where a greater part of my life or someone elses life was at stake, honestly, I'd rather be at peace. I would suppose that deep down, even WAY down, everyone wants peace in some form or another.

I have no idea what it feels like to be "at peace", so I can't choose that. I guess I'll go with "being right", even though I rarely am!

If I have to choose, I'd rather be at peace.

For me, it sometimes depends on what the situation is. If it is something small/insignificant, I prefer to be at peace because I know I'm right (if I am) and that's all that would really matter. But if it's something big and important to me and others then I would not rest until I get my point across without any disagreements or until someone proves me wrong.

Even the wisest of ABers will say they don't know. (if they don't know) The need to be right seems to be glued to the ego. I'd rather be unglued and at peace.

Peace. I would rather loose an argument than my peace or a friend.

Normally I prefer to be Right at the moment I will settle for Peace

I love to prove myself correct to those who doubt me (when I am, of course!) because I enjoy debate. But, if things reach an impasse, no matter how right I am or why they won't accept what I say, I'll often just secede from the discussion or argument for my own good, for my own peace.

i would perfer to be at peace.

To be at peace,most definitely. What's the point in being right when it makes you miserable? Peace is much better. :)

Most of the time, I prefer to be at peace.

peace coz no matter wat if u choose to remain at peace u will still remain right but if u insist of being right u wont get any peace at all.

If being at peace means I don't have to deal with the ignorance and close-mindedness that some live off of, I'll take that kind of peace anyday

i would rather be at peace. if you are right, it could mean you were in an argument, and being peaceful is better then being in a winning battle.

Right at peace

yes. but I will take peace over being right.

I would rather be happy and at peace than right. If it comes to it in a disagreement, and I cannot see a compromise or a win-win for both myself and whoever is disagreeing with me, I will allow them to stay angry or feel they are 100% right, rather than continue beating my head against a wall just for the sake of trying to come out on top. Being at peace and happy beats being "right" any day of the week for me. Life is too short to waste much energy on "being right." It is what I know and believe that I care about. I have no need to beat the person down, humiliate them or make them feel badly just so I can be "right."

Sometimes being at peace involves being right. And sometimes you can be right in your head and don't have to say so out loud. But continually accepting that you are wrong, when you aren't, to pacify a bully or an authority, can eat away at your soul and prevent you from enjoying any real peace.

"Being right" is a major problem for human beings. We think we can possess the truth by wrapping it up into concepts, and then we think we can define ourselves by attaching our identity to this "truth". This is a DISEASE, not something to value. Every time we heroically claim to stand up for the truth, we're basically bashing some other viewpoint and creating divisions. The problem isn't with the truth, the problem is with the way we relate to it: once we claim the truth as our own, and begin to see ourselves as the defenders and promoters of the truth, we're gone. We've lost any real contact with the kind of truth that matters, and what we're really promoting is our own ego. Someone who is really at peace has a completely different relationship with the truth: they can SEE it, and at the same time they can see the alternative ways of expressing it -- and this seeing occurs in a non-personal way: it doesn't MEAN anything about me that I can see the truth in something... it's not hero points or proof of my wisdom. That kind of seeing allows one to engage in authentic, respectful, and useful discussions with people holding many different viewpoints without causing undo friction or conflict. That's called communication. But there's a price to pay for that kind of power to commune: one has to give up the addiction to being right. So give me peace please. I've already had plenty of "right".

I use to think Right and then I asked myself - How's it working for you ? So now I choose Peace

peace because then your contempt with yourself and that's all that matters in life.

Unfortunately...when I am, or suspect I am, right, I find it hard to walk away. I consider it a character flaw and am working on this slowly. So if you see me leave the middle of a hot AB thread, just know that it was hard for me to do!

peace

i like to avoid conflict. i'm definatley more of a peaceful type. i also like to find out what the right answer is so instead of being right, i like to explore the options.

Peace...Ahhhh...

To be at peace. I can be right to me very often,but to others seldom.

I prefer to be wrong and not at peace, but achieve peace and correctness at the end of it all because I will have learnt something new. I don;t aim particularly to be at peace or right all the time. I;d rather learn something (I am a learning Junkie, I can't help myself)

I'd prefer to be at peace.

to be at peace by doing whats right

Definately peace. Because even if I'm proven right, I wouldn't be at peace. Being right doesn't solve the problem, it usually just causes more in the long run.

i can t even remember the last time that i was in an arguement,i state my opinion and if someone dissagrees,thats fine,to each his or her own opinion.

well, i really don't like being wrong, but it's more important to me personally to be at peace. now... how do i become at peace? i don't know if i've ever been there.

They are not mutually exclusive unless you mean proving to others that I am right. If I am confident enough in my psotion, I can be at peace whether or not others know it. "People of integrity expect to be believed and, when they are not, they let time prove them right."

The inner megalomaniac and power hungry egotist in me says. 'I'd rather be right.' I do like having my ego stroked a lot.

Having peace of mind is more important. There are some individuals that think they may be right or knowledgeable about everything, regardless of what you say to them. Depending on the situation, sometimes there may not be a right or wrong answer.

to be at peace

Definately at peace! you can't reason with everyone so sometimes its better to be the bigger person and walk away!

I'm all about peace...being the person who is right all the time sounds miserable. to always argue your point, going too great lenghts to prove your validation. No thank you!! Besides, how are you to learn from others if your always right. Take the infalable you and grow with wisdom.

To be right, I'll get peace when I'm dead!

At peace. I couldnt care less about being right!

I'll be at peace when I'm right.

I'll be at peace when I'm right.

Beloved and I have decided to 'take the challenge,' while in any disagreement, to view the other as 'absolutely right' in their individual view. What makes this such an interesting challenge within a working relationship is that most individuals -- during a disagreement -- feel the need 'to be MORE right!' This always creates only one winner and one loser! In my/our view, since we ARE in a loving union, and as we totally respect the right and freedom each of us has as a singular person, we decided to move our cooperative equation up: See, the way beloved and I figure it: I know he/she loves me -- this is an undeniable given; he/she deserves all the individual respect and cooperation as such (just like we lovingly deserve to be given in return). What we have experienced doing this as a couple -- believing the OTHER to be EQUALLY right -- coexistent viewpoints, if you will -- has not only nipped many a disagreement in its bud, but has taught us more about empathic cooperation than the 'need' to be 'more' right! It taught us HOW to communicate our individual viewpoints in a WIN-WIN way, for indeed not only do I not want to feel 'put down' by having someone dear to me 'think they know better,' (or vice versa) but functioning in this manner has given us more insight into the very Art Of Communication.

I have no need to be right. I have a big need to be at peace with myself and others.

Both! But if I had to choose, I think PEACE

Peace. If someone is wrong, it will become obvious eventually.

When I was young, (51 now), being right was everything. Now I look for inner peace. I don't mean I won't argue a point if I have to. But most of the time it seems to me, the other person isn't ever going to change their mind anyway. So I no longer feel the need to debate on and on.

Peace, because often you have to let people be wrong, especially when it is just little things. Not worth the fighting.

I prefer to be both! If I have to make the choice, it depends on how important it is to me.

what's wrong with both...?

at peace. being right all the time you learn nothing. sometimes being right sucks. like saying dude i know you have the clap or something. or that cute guy is so not into women.

Im always try to be right peace will come after if any at all

im at peace when im right :D

To be at peace :)

peace.
