Opinion

Every one’s got an opinion We are entitled to our views But, we won’t all agree the Difference often times are Huge Somehow the simpler the Problem harder the Moot Layering instead of issues Open wounds And personalized attacks Are used A point of contention is The deliberate disguising of The truth Distorting facts Figures assembled by rote Really there are a lot to be Desired Having regards to the distance Between what had first prompt The opinion And the reasoning that led To this irrational tirade and suit A stuck in a bog like situation Ensue Like the dreaded dream state Being awake and can’t speak Move or do what you want to While the root rot The debates rambles on Unable to; save quip, Get a grip on solid ground Consensus pursuit

We all have the right to our own opinion. We should always listen to each other - never forcing anyone to believe the way we do. This is deep and powerful writing, Weston. Many wonderful blessings to you. ~ Brandy

Weston, A stuck in a bog like situation Ensue Like the dreaded dream state Being awake and can’t speak Move or do what you want to.... So true of the many. This is amazing and precise description of what is going on around us. It is so many layers of the onion. Thanks for shedding light . Blessings to you, Susan :)

Weston, this is so different from the other one where you used colloquial language! This one seems like didactic? Is it for that contest? it SHOULD be!!

its the flow that is my undoing Andrea...your deduction is spot on point... here on the island is a dub style...

did you ever see this poster: "It's my opinion and it's very true" (I swear everyone must have this poster at their house. haha)

Weston Gregory
Date: 4/17/2017 4:39:00 PM

no i haven't seen that poster but i guess the poster is attesting to an irrefutable assumption, and we all know what assume makes us out to be; (ass-u-me). lol

yep, I agree Weston, and an opinion is the cheapest and most easily swayed think we each own. An interesting write. I enjoyed this.

Thank you Lewis. Yeah its like that at time..

There's a lot of truth in what you write here, Weston. A lot of people seem to resort to personal attacks when they find it difficult to attack an argument ... therefore conflating the issue that quickly turns into a mudslinging war. And the cycle continues ...

You are right Timothy. Thank you

Thank you for visiting "Rainbow... ." Your "Opinion" resonates with me because I've come under fire recently. Fact is, the majority of people I'm acquainted with would beg to differ with that person who is somewhat toxic. I find smooth sailing with 90% of persons I come in contact with. That opinionated person is also a controller, bully, shit starter, aggressive female, dictator, bitter/sweet. Bless you Weston. You've got remarkable foresight.

Well said my friend. Everybody has an opinion and everyone is entitled to that opinion as long as it doesn't cause our way of life to be diminished. Problem is so many people share the same opinion but express it differently and so people argue over the same thing while agreeing on it at the same time because there are so many ways to say the same thing. Does this make sense? Great job my friend. God Bless and a seven from me. (in my opinion) JB
