IT’S MY OPINION
Are opinions wrong or right? What’s your opinion on this? Let’s start with the basics first. What is an opinion? It’s a thought about something that you believe in, something that you think is correct, but that’s just for you. Not everyone might believe what you believe in.
It’s like a diabolical statement which has two or more point of views; like a coin which if u see upside gives you heads but if you turn it around, you get tails. But does that mean that the one you believe in is the right one? Honestly, in my opinion, this whole opinion thing doesn’t really have a wrong or right side. It’s just something you believe in; it’s your choice, doesn’t have to be right or wrong. There are so many people who think that what they believe in is what is correct. They get too defensive when you say something that doesn’t seem correct to them. They try so hard to change your opinion that they don’t understand the difference between an opinion and a fact.
Earlier this day, I had such a difference of opinion with one of my peers. It was over a stupid movie; I don’t like it while he does. And instead of respecting the other person’s choice, we started playing offence and defence. We started explaining to one other why it’s a good or bad movie but we could never reach a conclusion because each of us had strong arguments supporting our statements. And that is what most of do; try to make everyone believe in what we do because we feel we’re right but do we ever stop for a second and think; that maybe, just maybe, what we think may look correct to us and not to everyone else and that is why an opinion is called an ‘opinion’ and not a ‘fact’. We feel we’re always so right about things that we forget about the point of views that other people have and maybe if we try to think once from how they see things, it may not all seem so wrong to us. But the keyword here is ‘maybe’. And this is not a fact, it’s just my opinion.
