Who Cares To Be Right?

In today's day and age, it seems as though everyone is scrambling to be the best and ultimately be right. It is with great humility that I stand here and say "I don't always agree with others, and my opinions seem to be right as they flow scattered in my head", but what people don't seem to understand is that being right comes with great privilege and power.
Taking into example the theory, or should I say theories, of how humans came to be. God, dust, and best yet, monkeys are all familiar theories and beliefs cultivated and propagandized by the past, present, and soon to be future living people. Okay, maybe we did come from monkeys (highly doubt it) and maybe we even came from cockroaches, but does it really matter? Does fighting to be right really matter? Taking into consideration the time, energy, and effort wasted quarreling and bickering with others about situations that don't really have a known truth is just ridiculous.
Why can't we be wrong sometimes? For isn't it true that we learn from our mistakes, also known as wrongdoings. Media as well as powerful, influential minds are corrupting the truth about always looking for the right answer, and always having the right answer at that.
My advice to you, is believe. You may think it's funny, corny, or downright stupidity, but in actuality, believing in something really makes a person's character, which attracts others to listen and break down barriers. Yes, believe in what you do; believe in who you are; believe in what may seem minuscule.
But wait, don't stop there. Believing is only as effective as opening up. Keeping an open mind, allowing perspectives to continuously multiply. You may not believe per say in others beliefs, but as long as you take the time to listen and allow for change, addition to your own mindsets, the world would be a little simpler place.
