Opinions #12

Right here, this is my opinion. You can't say it's wrong or right because it's my own opinion. And some people seem to think that their opinion is the only right one. This can be so annoying and I honestly wanna slap people when they think this.

When you have an opinion it cannot be wrong, except for if you say your opinion is about a fact that has already had already been proven. Ex: We don't spin around the sun, the sun spins around he earth." Or "There aren't four layers on the earth." Those aren't opinions because there is solid and scientific evidence that we in fact do spin around the earth and that there are four layers of the earth.

Things like: "I don't like cheese." Or "Donald Trump is stupid" are opinions. That's my outlook on things. There isn't any proof that I can't like cheese or that Donald Trump is smart or necessarily stupid. It's all a matter of opinion. But again, some people think that only theirs is right.

If you are one of these people, honestly get a grip. You're not always right and not everyone will agree with you. That's the beautiful thing about us humans. We're all different and all think differently. None of us are the same, so get used to it.

Like literally this girl on my bus is one of those people. This morning I was ranting a little saying how I didn't really like this younger boy in our neighborhood because he hurt my six year old brother and insulted him. Then this stupid girl has the balls to say "Peyton that's extremely rude and you shouldn't say that. Things like that aren't taken seriously and that was wrong of you to say that."

Now that is technically her opinion. And I will respect that. But it's not ok for her to diss my opinion, saying that I can't think/say it. She can say she doesn't agree and think it's stupid all she wants, but when she says I can't or shouldn't say that, that's when things become not ok. Lol, weird wording.

So please don't. It seriously isn't any of your business what they should or should not think. You may think "I think her/his opinion is wrong" that's ok. That is 100% perfectly ok. I'm fine with you saying that,  but I'm not ok with "Your opinion is wrong and you shouldn't think like that" This is my opinion and there is no wrong or right. Just what I think. End of sentence. There's no ifs, ands or buts about it.

Everyone has an opinion, but sadly not everyone is free to voice it which frustrates me beyond belief. I live in the USA where I can voice my opinion and not be punished for it. Other places that's not the fact.

So when someone says something that they truly believe in, don't say it's wrong, or tell them they shouldn't be thinking like that. Have a civilized conversation with them, discussing what you believe. And if at the end of the day you two or three or more, still disagree then oh well. Cry yourself a river, build a bridge and get over it.

Or just move on simply. But the first way sounds way cooler. :)
