You have the right to remain starboard

However much you think you are, you are still wrong. Being right is an ideal, but it is never achievable. This is not the right as starboard, but right as in to be correct. I mean, whatever argument you come up with for whatever situation you think of, someone will always have a counter argument. Just because their opinion is different to yours does not make them wrong and you right, it makes you wrong and them wrong, as neither of you agree, there is no right answer. You cant even be right with things we quantify. If I look at a bit of wood, I can say that is 3 metres long, but I would be wrong, as it’s never going to be exactly 3 metres long. Even when you get down to the molecules, it may be the right number of molecules but if you look close enough it will always be a little off. Its like that idea that was used to invent the concept of the atom, if I take this bit of paper and tear it in half, what happens when I keep going? Well, there is no definitive building block, because even that, to have things built out of it must have some dimensions. If you now take my description of two people, and multiply it up by world standards, you will never find something that everyone agrees with. This of course is the fundamental flaw with democracy, the fact that you will never have an absolute agreement on everything. This is therefore why change takes so long to happen. I’m not quite sure why America is so desperate to spread this “democracy” all over the world. Its like they think they have got it right, which as established, you cant get it right. You never know, perhaps one day they will see I’m right……
