VB Ji,
I read the write up. It gives inspiration to act kindly with everyone we come across in our day-to-day life, rather than to question it's veracity whether it is right or wrong.
 
A kind soul wins many hearts. So, it always better to be kind than to be right. But the current world is sparsely occupied with kind people.
 
I just remember the following quote:


"Sometimes it is better to be kind than to be right. We do not need an intelligent mind that speaks, but a patient heart that listens"
 
Wisdom may be 100% better than intelligence in deciding things perhaps one who may happen to encounter problems in his/her day to-day life.
