Sometimes we are wrong
Sometimes we don’t have all the facts
Sometimes we see things differently to others
Sometimes our personal life experiences can colour our judgement
Sometimes we say things meant in a general way and others take it personally
Sometimes we are right
But the reality is
It is only one persons opinion
Right for them
Sometimes set in stone but not always so
Sometimes able to see things another way with more information
And deeper discussions
And new insights
Respect for another way
Another view
Is the goal
This is my way
What is your way
There is no wrong way
Is aimed at who I think it is?
Mick, it is aimed at anyone and everyone who thinks it is not a person’s right to have a different opinion, experience or view things differently, or who don’t like it if someone speaks out and they disagree with it.. sadly, there are millions of people around the world like this… If the hat fits, then some will take offence and wear it!
My favorite parable on this topic is this one: http://amazingwomenrock.com/everything-is-black-and-white

Thanks for sharing this Susan… this is a lesson one of my gurus, mentors and ‘teachers’ taught me, namely Dr Wayne Dyer.
Its all about perspective isn’t it Kate?
And perspective is based on our inner selves, the experiences and life transitions we have had throughout our journey, and, often our gutt instinct.
Listening to the opinions and perspective of others enables us to communicate more effectively, have insight into the variances in how we all break down information. Understanding where someone is coming from teaches us to respect others right to their own opinion, value and tolerance. We don’t have to agree but it does not mean they are wrong.
Thank goodness we all think differently. Imagine how dull and boring our lives would be if we all thought the same.
Keep smiling my friend.
