       This eagerness to be right is the very thing that brings on the attack. This wantingness blocks the person from actually making them right and instead makes them come out on the other end, the wrong end. And it all stems from a fear of what other people think, a worry over what another will say. When we stop caring what other people think, we speak positive truth which benefits others. Because we haven’t spoken in such a way that forces the truth on others, this allows for people to accept what we say. Even if a person doesn’t accept it, they don’t criticize us because of the way in which we have stated our position. If our attitude is shown from the inner motive of really wanting to help others versus the apparent motive that we just want to be right and win the argument, then people respect what we have to say. We can even take truths from the Bible, take certain positions and what not, and present those positions in a way that is not offensive to others. Anytime we try to force our beliefs on others it will not work. People will naturally resist, even if we are right in what we are saying.
