I am right!!

 
Why is it that whatever you do is right? The customs that I follow are always right. My nation is best. My religion is best. My opinion is right. (implicitly it makes the person who shares some of these similarities  better  in your opinion than others in the lot).
Did we ever gather courage to question whether you are really right or why is it so?
Well, its never too late!!

It's fine to respect one's own culture or customs but simply because one was born there in a particular caste/region/religion doesn't make that the greatest caste/region/religion on earth. Is there any scope of application of logic in this world full of emotional people who are largely being exploited by shrewd, emotionally intelligent people (you may call them "smart" or "cunning" depending upon which side you belong to and who you have sympathy for)? Isn't it very easy to provoke someone in the name of state/country/religion/god and exploit them?

Won't it be a better world if we have more emotionally intelligent people who don't hesitate to question  the validity of any emotion/association/attachment? Isn't it better to keep one's belief  to oneself and try to respect/accept/appreciate other's opinion at the same time.
Or is it in the best interest of human race to live in a "leader-follower (exploiter and emotional fool)" mode?

Am I right? :)
