What does it take for my heart to open? And what does it take for my heart to stay open?

I must give up being right. I have to stop trying to be right. And I must drop my stance by which I maintain my rightness.

Rightness (to be clear: not righteousness and not truthfulness) is the way that I keep my heart stone cold.

When I put down the compulsion to be right, then my heart opens. When that compulsion fades away, then my heart stays open.
