Essay for my university

I'm right, you're wrong. Do you feel identified identify with this phrase? Most of us would answer yes. But why? The answer is that we are all addicted to "being right", but being captive to our opinions is a trap. Wanting to be right is the chronic disease of humanity, surely one of the causes( not sure what you mean by causes here, maybe the word “challenges” would work better)  that have faced more people, nations, and organizations around the world. The result is that wanting to be always in possession of the truth consumes a great amount of energy and time that prevents us from enjoying others and the peace of mind of knowing that deep down we all have our own logic point of view. But let's see what else this question implies.
Our tendency is to see certain information or ideas as allies. We want them to win, we want to defend them. And those who that contradict that these opinions are the enemy and we want to defeat them. We take it personally. Scientists call it "motivated reasoning" Motivated reasoning is the result of the involvement of our emotions in our reasoning and hypothetically rational decisions. This theory holds that our subconscious motivations, desires and fears form and configure the information we receive to fit with what we already believe. In this way, we are less meticulous in examining evidences (evidence is a plural noun so s is not needed) that agree with our beliefs because we already agree with them and, instead, we look for every possible failure in the opinions that are contrary to our current opinion.
Is it better to be right at all costs before being happy? Before answering, just think about the following. Listening to others is proof of empathy and respect, keys to growing  and being at peace. Take your time and examine if you are really  actually right when you are wrong.
