Everyone wants to be right all the time, exclusively.

People are funny, you know. We all are guilty, and don't try to tell me that you are not. We need to be right. We hate to be wrong. We hate to admit that there is more than one way to do something. If our moms taught us the right way to mix a meatloaf or a cookie dough was with our fingers we want to do it only that way. We want to do it that way even if we gross out our neighbor who insists on using a wooden spoon, or his neighbor who uses an automatic mixer. I bank at the ATM often. I use telephone banking. My husband insists the phone system doesn't have the latest neighborhood gossip, and the computer apparently doesn't like him. It sees him coming, he claims and falls down with a virus immediately. I wouldn't be caught dead without my computer but I can keep a full set of accounting records from opening through taxes by hand if I have to. I just don't choose to. I believe in flexibility. I believe there is always another way to do something if you can't do it the first way tried. Why are people so stuck in their ways? Not just old people. Try to get a twenty year old to learn checkbook balancing by hand!
