The Importance Of Being Right

When I was fourteen, my father was stationed in Japan. I went rock-climbing with this kid from school. He fell, got injured and I had to bring him to the hospital.

We came in through the wrong entrance, passed this guy in the hall. It was a janitor. Friend came down with an infection and doctors didn't know what to do. So they brought in the janitor.

He was a doctor and a buraku; one of Japan's untouchables. His ancestors had been slaughterers, gravediggers. And this guy knew that he wasn't accepted by the staff, didn't even try, didn't dress well, he didn't pretend to be one of them.

The people around that place, they didn't think that he had anything they wanted, except when they needed him. Because he was right; which meant that nothing else mattered, they had to listen to him.

because when you're right. nothing else matters. cuz noone can bring down someone who is right. cuz they're not wrong.

however, being right and doing the right thing tends to be one of the loneliest features in the world for someone to have.

and sometimes being right abt certain things or ppl can hurt. but i guess when u compare to being wrong abt the previously mentioned things and getting hurt, its much better.

thats why i'm trying to be right in everything. cuz nth else will matter.
