I never understood certain people. The ones who need to be in charge 100% of the time and never let anyone have their fifteen minutes of fame. It has been on my mind for sometime now. We all have stress up to our eyeballs {some, even more} Somehow, it translates to being able to be the "leader" and put others down because you think it is right. I find that so unbelievably wrong, especially so because others feel the hurt and pain that comes with it. We so often take people down, when we should be celebrating their ideas and opinions. You may not agree with someone's thoughts, but you should listen and make an effort to understand, as if you agreed 110%. This is a theme I have seen lately throughout my life. People who think their opinion should weigh more than others. They don't care what they have to say and let it slip through the cracks. I wonder if they ever think to understand the other person's perspective. Maybe if they listened, they might change their mind. Maybe, even if they didn't agree, that moment of listening and care would make the person feel good. It would give them the courage to have their own opinions and not be a cookie-cutter believer. We are all entitled to our own opinions and those who trump others just need the attention because...well they need that attention. So don't be a cookie-cutter: be brave, be expressive, be proud about what you believe. No other person should influence that. {not in the slightest}You are you, so be you.
Have you not shared an opinion because someone influenced you not to?
