procrastination

so should be studying for an exam tomorrow, but kinda don't wanna and i've already procrastinated using facebook, getting a mocha (to study with), emailing, etc. so i figured why not blog as well.

today in class my teacher said "the most destructive a person can be is when they believe 100% that they are correct" (or somewhere along that line).

if you think about it, he is right. some of the worst things happen when a person (or group of people) believe they are correct and others are wrong. for example war follows this. or on a smaller scale, how about just arguing w/ someone in general. usually an argument happens when someone believes that they're right, when they really aren't (unless the person just likes to argue).

anyways, this got me thinking of things that i believe i'm 100% correct about. i know earlier i was able to think of a couple things but right now i can't. and actually that is really bugging me as well. how is it i can't think of something that i believe to be 100% correct? ok, my mind jumped to sexuality. i fully believe that a person has no control on who they like. a person can't just say "i'm going to like guys (or girls) as of right now". there may be some influences as a person grows and it may also be genetic, or most likely than not some sort of combination of the two. i just don't see how some people can believe that it's a person's own choice in being bi or gay. the only choice the person has is if they want to follow their feelings or live a life where they are lying not only to everyone but most importantly to themself. and i'm gonna stop on that topic now before i just start ranting.

and it's really bugging me that i can't think of anything else i feel to be fully and completely true. i know i always think of both sides of an issue, thinking of the positives and negatives of both, but there has to be some issues or topics or something that i would stand/fight for.

so i guess to whoever is reading this, what do you believe you're 100% correct about?
