“Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise--why destroy yourself?” Ecc.7
Did I just read ‘Do not be overrighteous” in the Bible?” How can one be overrighteous? Well, a few things come to mind. Anytime we try and stand on our own self-righteousness would be one. Anytime we put more emphasis on being “right” than being loving would be another. Many people have won an argument only to have lost the relationship. And, one ditty from driving school sums up another: 'Here lies the body of William Jay Who died maintaining his right of way -He was right, dead right, as he sped along, But he's just as dead as if he was wrong.'
