Opinions...

As they say on the internet, "Not everybody needs to hear all of Your opinions all of the time." Peooke get too comfortable with sharing their thoughts that they forget about the electronic footprint. What happens on the internet is on the world wide web forever. There's not enough cease and desist letters that can remove something personal or private from somebody that's been placed on the internet. Lowkey, if people thought of their opinions as if they were exposing their naked bodies, they'd probably be more critical in their thinking. Why? You may ask. Your opinions, fake or real show the real You or project a version of Yourself out there. Out of all the people to misrepresent why would You want to misrepresent Yourself? Think about it. Besides not everybody deserves to know/be around Your authentic self. If people were less concerned about how they look on social media and more concerned about who's looking at them in the mirror, literally and figuratively, the world would be quieter, allowing people to hear themselves think instead of just regurgitating opinions from somebody else.

I've been trying my best to be brutally honest since last year. It's safe to say that not many like it. But I feel it's good for my mental health, just like you mentioned! Awesome poem, Sir Paul!

I think as writers, we were born to share our opinions. And no matter how many people disagree, there are people who resonate; people who do not have a voice. The backlash is real, though. Great work again. You always share your genuine thoughts, whether you know it or not.

Hi Paul - In my Biz - Often my personal "Opinion" is focused towards ~ 'Less is More' ~ - With my Respect - Jay Jay Kantor, Chatsworth, California 'Senior' Vocal Author - Vocal Author Community -

I have no problem sharing my opinion with people who respect the opinions of others. But people are so hard-headed and narrow minded these days that I refuse to waste my energy exchanging opinions with someone who is obstinate or belligerent. Because to them, their opinion is fact and anyone who opposes that is wrong and (insert all manner of insults and passive aggressions). Who has the time… There is a quote about arguing with fools, but it’s so often misquoted and mis-credited I don’t know which version is bona fide lol

I really felt this, and I think Heather's comment says it all.

That fine line of Forgiveness

Opinions...are like assholes, everyone has one. Sorry, had to get that out of the way cos it's the first thing I thought when I saw the title, lol. But I do feel this one and you laid it out so expertly. I think anymore, I base whether I share or not on the person I'd be sharing with. Too hard to have honest conversations anymore in person and online. Great though-provoking piece.

You, too? I try to release my rage when I'm alone so as not to inflict it upon others. It helps some.

On point 😉❤️💯Thanks for sharing this❗
