I am right and you are wrong

Is it possible for human being to get rid of the mentality of "I am right and you are wrong."? This mentality seems to be the core of the problem. As long as we keep this mentality, we have to expect communication breakdown. Especially, religion seems to be encouraging this attitude. Is this something we cannot avoid as human being? --like destiny? or fate?

Can't we see each other as someone who has such tendency as a human being, and try to embrace him knowing this tendency?

In other words, can't we be more humble to God who is living with each person, knowing his situation? In a way, what I am saying may be the same thing as having the heart of a parent in looking at each person.

To be honest, I feel sometimes toward my child, "I am right and you are wrong." But, right after feeling that, I feel my conscience laughing at me, or maybe looking at me with some telling look. In a way, it is like a spitting towards sky (you will soon be spitted upon by your own spit) So, what if we could carry such heart as a parent to everyone?
