Re: Is life easier without opinions?
If we didn't have differing opinions, how boring the world would be!Re: Is life easier without opinions?
Opinions are OK if we can accept that, like ourselves, everybody's opinion is going to be different, very different. They always will be due to how our opinions are formed from so many different sources, that information will also be interpreted differently by that person and by others too in their own way. To actually listen to another person's opinion it's usually possible to learn something, however small that snippet may actually be.Re: Is life easier without opinions?
Re: Is life easier without opinions?
I'd say opinions are formed early on when reading, hearing about or experiencing anything. From then on, opinions won't be changed. There are exceptions of course but I believe it's true to say that once an opinion is formed, it nearly always becomes set in stone. You can mull opinions over with others, discuss them to kingdom come but minds are rarely changed.Re: Is life easier without opinions?
The trouble is; opinions are rarely our own, or have been influenced by the media. You might disagree with something you have read in newspaper or seen on TV so you have been influenced to disagree. Some things are done purposely to make you disagree. It's called 'Reverse Psychology'....Or to provoke a response.Re: Is life easier without opinions?
Offensive opinionated people are all about being in control and never losing that control. By talking down to you they will do one of two things that keep them in control of you. Either they will intimidate you to the point that you become submissive, or they will so infuriate you that they hijack your ability to think clearly and respond rationally. That’s because you’re using all your energy to keep a lid on wanting to rip their throat out..
