One might view that as a form of perfectionism - for me it all depends on what you're trying to optimize.
I've lived much of my life like that - but what's my goal here - to be right? Or to be happy? To me being happy means working towards harmonious relationships. I'm not going to pretend someone is right when they're not, but I might be a bit more diplomatic in my communication.
I'm not sure I get the morality angle. Is it immoral to chose not to contradict someone? Not in my moral code.
- Nadya 11y agoThat's the thing about morals. They change from person to person and society to society. What is immoral in one society might be neutral in another - or even moral in another! I find misinformation and ignorance to be a detriment to humankind in its entirety. It drags us down and hides the truth behind the world and how it works. People believe things that are wrong - myself included. When I am wrong, I hope for others to correct me. Spreading wrong and misinformed beliefs, to me, is morally wrong. What good comes from spreading wrong information?
