Being Kind Over Being Right

It feels good to be right,
For certainty brings one comfort,
correctness, self-delight,
knowing the answer to all questions presented.
But...
Being right isn't always kind,
being right can rub friends wrong,
rightness isn't always righteous.
Unlike kindness...
kindness knows when to be silent,
and when to utter the right words,
kindness is gentle to others,
kindness makes things alright,
and if you take a minute to ponder this you might discover,
that when you are kind,
you are indeed, always right.

Where does this need come from? I think, deep in our core, we know. And still, we repeatedly doubt it, deny it, believing this world is our own. Convincing ourselves that we are our own. Yet, we cannot heal ourselves, we cannot change ourselves, we cannot bring ourselves back to life, we cannot free ourselves from the unseen chains that bind us and weigh us down. I've come to fully embrace the reality of this existence. To expect struggle, to expect pain, to know that death will come. I may sound somber, but I am not, I do not deny the beautiful things that God has placed for us on this ...
