A person's words are very powerful, powerful indeed.
Like that is something new to us, huh.
I have learned this lesson a number of times, in all likelyhood will have to learn it again another time or twenty! Watch the words that come outta my mouth. I try. I'm sure I mess up, which gives me a little space for those who give me some direct hits with their verbal diarrhea. It happened today, I got. Put my back up but, hey your opinion is just that. YOURS. Somedays I would like you to keep it to yourself, but then there is that occasion that I flap my gums and realize....I, too, need to restrain myself more often. It's when people give "facts" and "I read somewhere" opinions....and they are opinions because their is someone else out there who will refute what you just announced.
It's like listening to someone rant on and on about a specific kind of vehicle that they will ONLY drive. Say it's a Ford, well the next person freaks out and oh...no...I only drive a Dodge. Good grief, last time I looked they both had service centres!! Opinions. I'll only use a Mac computer, well, what about an Acer.....there are those diehards that will argue till the cows come home.
Opinions. Life is too short to get yourself into a KNOT over someone elses opinion!! But we do,
we have our shield down, or sensitivity button is on and wham we get blind-sided by someone's words.
I think Mom was right when she said "If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all" or a dear friend of mine just e-mailed me a great saying "Don't always believe what YOU think"
Opinions. Somedays are just verbal diarrhea, or simply put.....SEEMS to be true to YOU.
