Righteous dude!


Port Melbourne, Australia

When surveyed, the majority of people say that they believe themselves to have higher moral values than other people.  If we all think we are better than each other no wonder there's a lot of intolerance in society.  When we think our way is the only way and everyone else is wrong we create an arrogance, ignorance and sometimes a superiority complex (which if you scratch beneath the surface is really coming from insecurity).

When we let go of ego, and rather than pushing our righteous opinions and views onto each other, we think “what can I learn from this person?” we create more tolerance and acceptance of others and we grow.  I’m not saying we should devalue our own opinions, throw caution to the wind and take on everyone else’s values.  I’m saying that when we stay grounded and connected to our own values, but respect and listen to other people’s views we become happier, more intelligent and loving.   Basically we become better people.
