Wise Words: Be Right or Be Kind?

Last week, I wrote about George Washington’s advice that “‘tis better to be alone than in bad company.” Mayberry Mom and Velveteen Mama weighed in with thoughts of their own, and I think we all generally agreed on this: we need time alone and it’s hard to come by.

This week, on Wednesday, I’ll be writing about these wise words by Anne Lamott:

“You can either practice being right or practice being kind.”

Oooh, it’s a good one, right?

Can you relate to this quote? I’d love to know if you try to apply this idea, if you’re successful (and if so, how?), or if you generally disagree with it.

You can link up with your thoughts on Wednesday (details on the Wise Words discussion here).
