I am a firm believer in the statement of fact. Not that I do not have my own opinions, I have plenty–most of which I believe to be true. This is where everyone’s downfall is. We all think that our own opinions are the correct ones, and sometimes we are even willing to fight to the death to defend them. The problem comes in when we begin to believe our opinions to be factual–even if they aren’t.
Your opinions are your opinions, but we need to at least hear out the opposing argument before completely dismissing it. We cannot be stuck on that ledge of self righteousness for an eternity. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and someone else’s may be more valid than yours. Hell, a broken clock is even correct twice a day!! (Yet another euphemism I’ve been dying to use!)
My point is, you cannot instantly think that your opinion is fact and everything else is just poppycock! HAHA–I just said poppycock!! Back to the subject. Do some research people! Everyone has a phone in their hand practically 24/7. Get your thick skull off of social media and check into some facts!! You would be amazed at how much REAL information is out there if you just go searching for it! We developed opposable thumbs for more than just scrolling!!
For that matter, get your head outta your ass (social media) and take a look around the real world!! ASK other people THEIR opinions! We all have them–and some are based on utter BULLSHIT!! But you wouldn’t know that unless you were willing to listen to them and do a little research–it won’t hurt, I swear!! Well, it might hurt a little, depending on whether YOUR opinion is the wrong one. But you wouldn’t know that either unless you look into it.
Before you begin spewing nonsense, make sure you have the FACTS straight. And understand that you may not be right, it’s OK. (I, for one, wouldn’t know what that’s like…) And I realize I had a bit of a tangent into a social media rant. Don’t worry, I will get into that later, too.
