Fighting vs. peace

I've spent the day thinking about Tolle's question, "Do you want to be right or do you want to be peaceful." It's amazing how some times I want to be right so much that I will suffer the consequences and let my ego take over.  Sometimes the only way I can stop it is to ask myself if being right will make me feel more positive about myself or will it hurt me.  Rarely do I find that being right outweighs the benefits of feeling at peace.  If I'm fighting hard to be right, I'm fighting.  Even if I've won the war, the victory is never sweet. Consistently I will try to choose to be more at peace.
