All these things we want to be “right about” are they actually necessary? Well if it's, about the ego boost then yes, it's worth it.

However, when I insist on being right, I am not considering the other person, and they usually end up frustrated and angry. Whether I am the winner or the loser of an argument the game is broken - there is always a looser.
