''One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed'' Friedrich Nietzsche
Opinions are like assholes everyone has one..and that's fine because you're entitled to it, but don't people who shove it in your face so vigorously that you wish you didn't start a conversation with them just annoy the hell out of you, unless your on a debate team.
There's a big difference between wanting people to know what you think, and wanting people to agree with you. Those who insist everybody agree with them will push points until others feel attacked. If we all had one opinion then really we would never have anything to talk about.
There is a certain approach and method to sharing and exchanging opinions and the most important thing is to listen, after all a proper conversation should never be one- sided; express your opinions in a gentle but clear manner so that it's civilized and not in any way aggressive because that is called an argument!
''I never make the mistake of arguing with people for whose opinions i have no respect for'' Edward Gibbon |
