The great commandment is not "Thou shalt be right." Instead, the great commandment is, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Just stay inside of the Great Compassion, the Great Stream, the Great River of Divine Love. Don’t push that river, just stay in it. You are already there! 

All that is needed is surrender and gratitude. Our job is simply to thank God for being part of it all and allow it to happen. The many burdens we carry are not just ours. We are in this together. The sin that comes up in us is not just our sin; it is the sin of the world. The joy that comes up in us is not just our personal joy; it is the joy of all creation. We are in this together as the living Body of God. 

All we can do is accept and give thanks.
