Our steady state seems to be one of unconsciously assuming that we are very close to omniscient. The experience of being right is imperative for our survival, gratifying for our ego, and, overall, one of life’s cheapest and keenest satisfactions.
Far from being a moral flaw, errors are some of our most humane and honourable qualities: empathy, optimism, imagination... However, as a culture, we haven’t mastered the basic skill of saying “I was wrong". What a startling deficiency, given the simplicity of the phrase!
By contrast, we positively excel at acknowledging other people’s errors. Our default attitude toward wrongness tends to be rough on relationships.. see that you can either be right or be in a relationship.
