    When you believe you are right and discover you were wrong, what do you do with your belief that has been proven wrong?

    Beliefs are creations that you make in your own mind. Leaving them behind does not help. They are still there and remind you of what you made every time you pass by that place in your mind again. You made the belief and see how well it hangs in there when you come around again and again. So how are you going to deal with this problem ?

    Admit it  graceously and with humility

    Drop it and go on. Perhaps you learned something in the episode - wisdom.

    Tag-end: Remember, the only entity who has never experienced this normal part of life is God. Then too, a person who will never argue a point can avoid the experience. However, the majority of humanity will never avoid such conflict. Be studied and knowledgeable before engagin....

    Based on the new discovery, here's my take:  I cannot refund the money that you lost to me as I have already spent it.  Now I am flat broke.  Would you take an IOU, robertgrist?

    Unlike money, error in thinking are corrected by revoking the error in thinking….I suppose it would be like money if you returned the purchased product to the store for a refund of your investment. Investing in “Quacked-facts”…. Should engender a since of betrayal, leading to a lower level of trust for such sources. Instead I see folk returning to their sources of lies for something a little different in hopes of a different result. I see that as a form of insanity…that requires a reassessment of values and reassignment to find a better responce to errors in thinking.
    Admit it. It's not a threat to democracy.

    Be blessed that you have discovered the greater truth, and now help others under the same deception to see the light as well.

    Learn! We are all sometimes on automatic pilot, forgetting that this great mother Earth is a training ground for something much more miraculous than we can ever imagine. Be humble, the more you pretend to know the more wrong you will be. Listen to your mistakes, for they give insight into the next situation around the corner. Do not assume! Get the facts the best you can, it is a virtue to admit you are wrong, not a liability. We all must learn to be more than we are told to imagine, Human Conciousness is work, don't let negativity get in your way, take the dark cloud for what it is worth and look for the silver lining.
