Not sure what you mean, Caz? It's not like the opinion once found wrong is going to sneak back in as right again! I'm pretty careful about that.
Of course, there are plenty more wrong ideas left in my head to be found out as wrong! So each tomorrow I can focus on exposing those, for potential identification and correction.
Hm. Maybe "I'd rather be wrong now than wrong tomorrow" works better. NO HELL NO. Well. I guess it's an acceptable paraphrase, at least.
Actually, what I'm looking for is not perfection at any point, but rather to be able to see and accept that I am wrong in the moment my wrong shows. Only if I can see where I am wrong today can I see where and how I can become right for tomorrow. Or hell, by this evening even. Varies by case.
But no matter the case, I'm always grateful when I find I'm wrong. Because if I'm wrong now, I was probably wrong yesterday and for years before. Yet suddenly: I have the opportunity to NOT BE WRONG no more. Sing ha-la-la! Because who wants to just keep being and staying wrong on some point, all their life?
If you had to choose between, which would you rather be? Right tomorrow, or right now?

Alternate phrasing -
I want to be right more than I care about being wrong.
... and for each of the tomorrow's that come your way?

"Oh God make me perfect, but not yet."
Are you actually St Augustine in disguise?
haha! No, Tim I'm sure not!

If you're right tomorrow, then tomorrow you'll be right right now ...
Exactly! Which is why it won't be important. By then the important part will have been done.
:-D
I suddenly understand why I have no philosophy of life ...
Yeah, I kind of cheated. Mine's far more an observation of a personal preference than a philosophy.
