天天用英语：三十课 - The Art of Letting Others Be Right
You are most willing to do that thing, where is your true talent. ——摩西奶奶
读完全文，让我想起了孔子的蚂蚱人故事，百度搜来，与君一飨。
子贡问时。
朝,子贡事洒扫,客至,问曰：“夫子乎?”
曰：“何劳先生?”
曰：“问时也.”
子贡见之曰：“知也.”
客曰：“年之季其几也?”
笑答：“四季也.”
客曰：“三季.”
遂讨论不止,过午未休.
子闻声而出,子贡问之,夫子初不答,察然后言：“三季也.”
客乐而乐也,笑辞夫子.
子贡问时,子曰：“四季也.”
子贡异色.
子曰：“此时非彼时,客碧服苍颜,田间蚱尔,生于春而亡于秋,何见冬也?子与之论时,三日不绝也.”
子贡以为然.

My brain, like all brains, houses an unbelievable quantity of remembered information, and a huge amount of that information is stuff I’ve watched on television.
I am slowly grasping another overlooked freedom, which is the freedom to let people be right (or at least feel right) even though I think they’re wrong.
The typicalperson experienced far fewer moments in which it felt appropriate to argue a point beyond what politeness allows.
This facelessness turns up our impulse to argue even more.
Being wrong feels exactlylike being right, which is the sole feeling experienced by all parties, in any argument, about anything.
I hope. I hope I will notice the impulse before the words come out.
In other words, it is possible, theoretically, to retire from Belief Patrol.
Asserting and defending our views takes an enormous amount of mental energy and accomplishes little.
We can still express our views in a thousand other ways that aren’t so indulgent and harsh.
