Is Anyone Qualified?

No one ever feels qualified that what they have to say is right. They think maybe there’s something their missing. And it leads them to not say anything at all. Maybe we’re afraid of being wrong or the consequences of it.

But if we never say what we have to say then we’ll never know for sure if we’re fully right or wrong. Is there even a right or wrong? I remember from the book ‘Greenlights’ by Matthew McConaughey that one scene when the 2 Africans were arguing and Matthew McConaughey started siding with one of them, the one he sided with said, “It’s not about who’s right or wrong, it’s about understanding.” And that line really stuck with me until today.

No one’s ever right or wrong because they have a reason for doing things the way they do and for seeing the things the way they do.
