    This is unconditional....right or happy. Bites doesn't it.

    I always found the quest to be right, a conflicted position that required proof at all times, references and research, debating skills and stealth just to get by. But being right by point of view and sound argument & reason can be quite alienating and dementing an on-going proof and supporting work. Being mr. right is the same as being targeted as mr. wrong. True but…
    Happy is in-offensive , friendly, likable, open, honest and flexible. The very opposite of mr.right.

    Absolutely happy, Robert, that's the most important thing.
    I would rather be happy!
    Being right or wrong does not have to do with happiness.

    I found this question in A COURSE IN MIRACLES (original version).
    depends on what you think your right about, casey anthony thought she was right do you think she's happy?

    Would you rather be right or happy? Not about some one else, just you.

    happy!
    Happy! If you are right you don't need to justify yourself!
    my boss asked, me that once, he was right, sometimes you have to ignor right ,not in sense of law ,but somtimes with people,
    happy

    The underlying suggestion in your question is that if we are happy, we are wrong, or that if we are right, we aren't happy.   It is difficult to assume one without the other, at least part of the time. 
    I doubt I could really be "happy" if I wasn't right at least once in a while.   Being "right" all the time could have negative consequences, depending on how one handles all that righteousness!
    You won't get a straight answer from me because of my interpretation of your question.  Hats off to those who could choose unequivocally.

    Sometimes when I'm right I'm very UNhappy. Those "I told you so" moments. ..

    Happy!

    Being happy is the right thing to do, it can be contagious, not foolish.

    I Did not get where i am today without being Right,which makes me Happy,

    Did you find out who Dick Ritger was??An Australiain Bowler i think,Wayne Zarne had a young pritty Wife,and not a bad bowler,
    Bob/PKB

    I did 0a search but found nothung. I'll try again.

    I think what you may be getting at is (Is it worth the argument with your wife or husband over who's wrong or right?


    In that case I would rather be in a relationship where you could be honest with each other, communicate, and accept, as well as admit when you are wrong. If you roll over and die as a man or woman to avoid an argument, it's just not being true to yourself or your loved one. That type of relationship doesn't make it a good or necessarily healthy one...


    So I'd rather be honest and sincere. Right or wrong wouldn't matter hopefully that would make us both happy. TMO


     

    If you stay with the truth and that happens to be right in anyones eyes, you will be happy.  But trying to be right on wrong premise can only make you unhappy even if you win. So be happy.

    HAPPY!!!

    Happy .lifes to short to fight
