Wrong, Right? by Larry John
Election time is an interesting time. It brings out the best and the worst in people. What is it about us that makes us always want to be right? You would think that our opinion was the only opinion there was. In short, we believe our own, usually indoctrinated, way of thinking and believe it is the only way to think. We love to be right and more than that… we love others to be wrong. If anyone challenges our opinion we resort to childish remedies like calling the other party “stupid, dumb, idiotic, ridiculous, asinine, foolish, silly, simple minded, idiotic, backward, half-witted, dead from the neck up, or just plain Wrong…Wrong, wrong, wrong! The definition of opinion reads, “Conclusions thought out yet open to dispute.” Opinions are not perfect knowledge. Can only one person be right when it comes to what political ideology is correct? Or is all life just “shades of grey”…not black or white…just “shades of grey.”… Where no one is totally 100% right? Well that’s my opinion, but I’m open to discuss it. How about you? Think about it. |
