Although this quote was first spoken well over a century ago, it still holds truth today. Ever had a conversation with someone who won't let you share your opinion on the subject being discussed? And it frustrates you because you don't share the same feelings towards what's being spoken to you as this my way is right, so don't even bother sharing your opinion? These conversations are difficult to be in for anyone who doesn't quite know how to respond to what's being shoved down their throat.
There are over seven billion people living on this earth at this moment. Seven billion people who have or will someday have an opinion that might not match up with yours. You know what? That is perfectly acceptable. If everyone, every single person on this planet, thought the exact same way this world would be boring place to live, wouldn't it? We're allowed to disagree about subjects and life, that's what makes this world beautiful. But never rip someone to pieces for feeling differently about something.
We all see the world through different eyes and will have different interpretations about what happens in our lives and culture. It damages someone's soul when you tell them they're wrong because they think differently than you. You both see the world differently and will have vast interpretations of what should happen in society or in your life. Be open to what other people have to say, don't knock them down before they say their first word.
Every one of us views the world from a different perspective, that's the beauty of life. Instead of hating on someone for interpreting life differently, be open to hearing other people's stories. Who knows, your perspective might change as well.
We're all supposed to change, but I'll leave that for another blog post.
'till next time.
Happy Autumn!
Kelly.
