Dumb Egoistic People who just want to be right

Most of us would know of people who will stick to their guns come what may. To us they are like soooo stubborn or just persistent or just plain egoistic.


It is said that the difference between stubbornness and persistence is success. If a person continues plodding along after many others have failed... well... if he succeeds, then people look at him as someone persistent. If he fails, then they say, he is so stubborn.


But what about those who just want to be right? What are they then?


Honestly, I also don't know. But let's look at an example:


Say someone, who really don't have anything going for him/her just want to be right about anything he/she says.


If, say, a seer (or sage etc) advices that it would be good for him/her to do something or go somewhere etc etc.


And originally, he/she had toyed with the idea also. But because the advice came from someone he/she does not like, he/she now discards that advice and decides that come what may, he/she will never go down that path.


And to the extent that he/she will look for evidence or reasons or purposely create events to support his/her decision not to take that advice.


Weird huh... But there are weird people like this. Talk about self sabotage.


Well.. It is their free will to choose to self sabotage themselves. However, I think they should seriously look at themselves in the mirror and ask what are they creating for themselves or their family?


The "unexplainable" unreasonable dumb path they are choosing will ultimately destroy themselves only. There is only so much their families can take. This is the 21st century. No spouse is going to stick around and let you throw your egoistic self sabotaging attitude around for long. So chances are, the spouse would eventually desert him/her as their spouse free will would say, "I'm not going to suffer because of this person".


Sigh.. I hope these people wake up soon... For their own sakes.
