Yes, most "Thoughts arise involuntarily and spontaneously in response to other
thoughts."
Thoughts are nearly always wrong. One is seldom right through thought.
There is nothing wrong with being right. The denial or suppression of being right, or beyond thought, undermines the potential to uncover the love that one is.
Is there anything more important than being right? For a bodhisattva, or someone dedicated to bringing more light and love into this dimension, being right takes precedence over all other activities.
Chögyam Trungpa said, “Compassion is not so much feeling sorry for somebody, feeling that you are in a better place and somebody is in a worse place. Compassion is not having any hesitation to reflect your light on things. That reflection is an automatic and natural process, an organic process. As light has no hesitation, no inhibition about reflecting on things, it does not discriminate whether to reflect on a pile of shit or on a pile of rock or on a pile of diamonds. It reflects on everything it faces.”
I can understand that those who have light shone on their thoughts, beliefs, and delusions would rather feel their ego has been wronged, than to let go of those thoughts and realize what's right.
