Hmmm...if push comes to shove, I'd prefer happiness than being right, I guess...but of course it's MUCH better to be happy AND right HA HA HA HA HA HA...
But being right is a relative thing, as well. What's right for someone may not be right for someone else. There are so many different things we may not know about a person's life, so it's hard to tell. It's easier to tell what's right for me only, I guess. Hmmm...but when we're really confused and tired and stressed out, do we REALLY know what's right for us? HA HA HA HA...
amel's realm: Happy and right what a tempting combination. For me it is terrible not being right - I have a tendency to be a 'know-it-all'. Of course there are some people whose intellect I admire and look up to it and with them I am totally accepting. And with others I am totally snooty
I wouldn't mind being wrong once in a while. From the comments here, I can see no one chooses Right over Happy - its either Happy or Right & Happy! :-)
Wish you and your loved ones a Very Happy New Year!
QUASAR9: Lol...sometimes it does ;-) Merry Christmas
Blur Ting: That's the way it should be - it shouldn't take a lot to make anyone happy. I think it's all the traveling you do that does the trick and of course your family. Merry Christmas
Titania Starlight: Thanks:) Hope your arm's better now. Merry Christmas
Ricardo: But sometimes you can be right and being right you make certain decisions or come to certain conclusions that make you anything but happy. Merry Christmas
JYankee: Merry Christmas to you as well!
Jean-Luc Picard: And Merry Christmas to you captain....
HollyGL:. Hey Steph - so GREAT to hear from you. I know what you are saying but sometimes you just can't let go and want to poke and prod and analyze your happiness and then you're screwed I had a chuckle too hope you have a Merry Christmas
meleah rebeccah: My problem is that I can take being wrong with a only very few people. With the rest I have a huge chip on my shoulder Merry Christmas
Greg: *Chuckle* Merry Christmas
Shantanu: It's cool not to mind being wrong - then you can learn Merry Christmas
Ms.Magnus, I've missed you and just wanted to stop in and wish you all the best and hope that you have a beautiful new year that's filled with peace, joy, beauty and serenity.
Hi Amber!!! I know this sounds crazy, but I love being wrong sometimes...or proved wrong. It is then that I learn a big lesson.
I would MUCH rather be happy than right mostly because I have experienced very little happiness in my life. I have worked very hard changing my attitude about happiness. Some people think happiness is a choice and I agree that's true in many cases.
Marvelous question. To me, it means, Would I rather assume that I'm happy because I've achieved what we're told equals happiness -- or would I rather face the truth of my existence.
I know that there is tremendous peace and joy in choosing the latter but to fully choose that path, abandoning the other, is perhaps the most difficult challenge in the entire realm of human reality.
Hi Random, Here's wishing you and your Inner Circle all the best for the coming year, may it be filled with much fun, joy + happiness. The days filled with much much Sun (light) and the nights filled with bright Starlight.
I am so glad I accidentally came across this blog...LOVING IT...
Being right: I try not to open my mouth unless I know what I am talking about...thus making me a rather quite individual LOL...
But..hmmm..am I happy? I have to think on that...I do know that some co-workers get frustrated with me for "always being right"...little do they know...I am usually wrong...just wise enough to keep that flaw to myself :-)...I guess this perception by co-workers does NOT contribute to my happiness...hmmmm
Blur Ting: Hope you have the greatest year filled with a lot of happiness and of course travel
RubyShooZ: Thank you so much – it is always a pleasure when you stop by…Happy New Year.
Loz : To you too and I have been quite an irregular blogging buddy
Meleah Rebeccah: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you darling Meleah. This year’s resolution is to be more regular with my blogging and not be so lazy.
somewhere joe: Actually now that you put it this way I can remember a couple of times that being wrong has been quite a relief to me.
Mariuca: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too, sweet Mariuca!
Jay Cam: Great minds think alike!
tobeme: I love all the answers they are so creative!
Bobby: I think all of us make an unconscious decision at some point in our life. Some decide to be right at all costs and for some being happy is the only goal.
Fantasy Writer Guy: Thanks but I can’t take credit for it. Douglas Adam asked it before and before him in some form or the other countless other great minds. I wonder if they have to be mutually exclusive though – and if there is a possibility that we can convince ourselves that being right no matter how painful is a sort of happiness.
Jacques Pierre: Hello. Happy New Year and a LOT of happiness and joy to you as well.
Stealth: Hey. I know have been so irregular. Happy New Year to you
Mariuca: To you as well
Mike French: A very Happy New Year to one of my favourite authors
Amel's Realm: To you as well. Hope the year brings you and your husband a lot of joy and beautiful memories together.
Jeff: But you can be happy at never being ‘not’ right. Happy New Year
Northern Cyprus: Hey – welcome and a happy New Year
HollyGL: Dearest Stephanie. Hope this year is a blast for you as well. And you are both right and happy
B: Nothing at all – and sometimes welcome especially if you reached a painful conclusion which you later realize was actually wrong.
QUASAR9: Hey. Thank you so much for being such a great blogging friend and your intelligent and lovely comments over the last year.
The Real Mother Hen:.. I LOVE your sense of humor If we weren’t sad sometimes we wouldn’t value happiness would we?
blue: Thank you so much. My problem is that sometimes my mouth doesn’t work at all and other times it works overtime and I say much more than I should have.:) Happiness is in enjoying the moments to their fullest
One Wacky Mom: Thank you and a very Happy New Year to you.
John: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. By the way… the feeling is mutual
meleah rebeccah: Belated Happy New Year *said very sheepishly*

Now I'm going in circles he he he...
Knowing I'm always right makes me happy.

Greg:
Ahh you're making me so envious...
lol Random,
I think we've all been there
and some of us still 'are'
Mind you I don't mind being wrong sometimes, makes a nice change - lol!
here's wishing you and your close ones much merry making and all the best for the festive season
Haha, that's something I have not thought of. I guess it doesn't take alot to make me happy :-)
Hope you are well. Good to see you snooping around again!
I am with you on this one. I can be a bit of a perfectionist. I hate it when I am wrong. :o)
It is good to see your smiling face back. Have a wonderful holiday and a new year of peace and happiness.
Hugs,
Titania
As Greg said, I would rather be happy because I can achieve happiness from knowing I'm right.
You said it! Hoping you're having the best Holiday Season!
Happy Christmas to you, Amber!
Well, I say if you're happy you're right! With happiness being the state of mind, who cares if you're "right or wrong"... You're happy!
Happy, happy holidays to you, Amber! xoxo
p.s. I had to chuckle (lovingly) when I read Greg's comment. :D
I love to be RIGHT, but when I am wrong....its okay too.
ps... GLAD YOU POSTED....
xxoo
Early Happy Holidays
I remember Chuckles. I thought they stopped making that candy.

Hi Amber, Merry Christmas to you and your family!! May next year be a greater one :-)
Oh, I'm always right ---
Except when I'm wrong.
Ms.Magnus, I've missed you and just wanted to stop in and wish you all the best and hope that you have a beautiful new year that's filled with peace, joy, beauty and serenity.
Always peace, always love.

Merry Christmas to you and yours Amber and thanks for being a good blogging buddy this year :)
Merry Christmas XXOO :)
There have been times when being wrong made me the happiest man in the world. But not often, heh...
Merry Christmas, Amber. This year and always.
Hola Amber, just wanna wish u a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :):):)
lol thats my thinking exactly!
I know that I am right in being happy!
Hi Amber!!! I know this sounds crazy, but I love being wrong sometimes...or proved wrong. It is then that I learn a big lesson.
I would MUCH rather be happy than right mostly because I have experienced very little happiness in my life. I have worked very hard changing my attitude about happiness. Some people think happiness is a choice and I agree that's true in many cases.

I know that there is tremendous peace and joy in choosing the latter but to fully choose that path, abandoning the other, is perhaps the most difficult challenge in the entire realm of human reality.
I sense that to succeed, is to become a saint.
Oh yeah, I'm so happy to be proved wrong all the time, cuz it saves me the trouble of having to prove I was right.
Happy and right...they always come together. That is my opinion.
Hi Amber. I wud luv 2 be both, happy & right. If dat doesn't happen, I'd rather be happy in my own way ;)
Happy New Year. Wishing you Lots of Joy, Happiness, Health, Wealth and Love !
Always being right will only make you unhappy. Glad you're posting again. I missed you...
Hello Amber! Here's wishing u a terrific 2008! Have fun yeah! :):):)
Hiya Amber
Happy New Year! Hope 08 brings you loads of happiness and that you will be right at least ... 10% of the time!
Let's see if I can make you happy now...
Q What is the capital of England?
Yes correct!
Now breathe in the happiness that comes from being right!
Happy New Year, Amber! May the coming year be better for you. Bless you and your family!!! ;-D
I'm afraid I am going to have to disqualify myself. I don't know what it is like to NOT be right.
But then again, I know what is like to not be happy so there you go! ;)
It's nice to be happy and right. It takes two to tango.
Happy New Year, Amber!! May 2008 bring you and yours much health and happiness. ...and a realization that you are right 99.999% of the time. ;) xoxo
Happy!! nothing wrong with being wrong sometimes!
Happy New Year!!
Hi Random,
Here's wishing you and your Inner Circle all the best for the coming year, may it be filled with much fun, joy + happiness. The days filled with much much Sun (light) and the nights filled with bright Starlight.
This will make it a Happy New Right Year :)
By the way, I'm ALWAYS right. But I still get sad from time to time.
I am so glad I accidentally came across this blog...LOVING IT...

Brilliant post...brilliant!
Do you know what Benjamin Franklin did with that one?
Hey Amber,
Happy New Year!
I look forward to reading your posts in '08 and am glad to have met you in the blogging world during '07.
All the best...
ps... Happy New Year

Real happiness only comes when I know I did the right thing. Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
