When Somebody Gives an Opinion

When somebody gives an opinion, they may be wrong. Sometimes they may be right. Whatever the opinion may be, I think it is wrong to beat up on people with words.

When somebody gives an opinion, they may be wrong. Sometimes they may be right. Whatever the opinion may be, I think it is wrong to beat up on people with words. Some people think that they make themselves look good trying to make somebody else look stupid. Somebody can see it, and somebody is watching it. That’s when somebody should stand up and speak to let us know the wrong that is within ourselves. There is a right and a wrong way to do things. When we know somebody is wrong, we should try to tell them where we think they are wrong with understanding. We should try to tell them in a nice way, and we should try to avoid argument as much as possible. If we see a person standing their ground and strong in their belief, I think we should just let it be. We should let them learn for themselves. For one thing, everybody has different experiences with things in life. Their opinion may be right for them. If we can help people see things in a better way, then that’s what we should do. When we have an angry and proud spirit, it gets us nowhere. We should just leave it alone.

Some people are so angry, and they have hostility in their hearts. It all depends on the person that we reach. Some people are use to argument and that may be all that they know how to do. When a person comes along to help them and share an opinion with them, they may not listen. They may be too busy being loud. Sometimes it is best to listen. When a person gives an opinion, they may be right according to what they have learned in life. What they have learned may help you or it may not. It may not help you right at that moment, but it may help you one day down the line. Some people know where you are coming from. They just want to talk, need attention, and love to fight. Those kind of people don’t deserve to share an opinion. They should be ignored.

    Very interesting article. I really enjoyed it. I think we should all respect the fact that people have differences of opinion. Also, when our opinion differs from others, we should handle the situation delicately especially if we know the opinion we are giving is critical.

    Gail, I nominate this piece to become the code of standard for how to treat each other in the Triond Forum. That forum has truly deteriorated in recent months. Let’s work together to ignore the people who only cause trouble. They don’t really want any community, or if they do, they are going about it the wrong way. Brian
