Opinion Matters



Yes, we all have an opinion on anything and everything….
The title can be read in two ways
1.       The blog describes about opinion as a matter
2.       An individual’s opinion matters to himself/herself

I want to share the space to talk about both here. There are lots of situations in life where we feel we have an opinion but do not share it out. This could be about a person or an organization or a movie or the government at large. Could be anything!!

From as simple as a response of a person to a question of yours to as big as elections we have opinions. There is no hard and fast rule that we cannot have thoughts/opinion about a matter (anything and everything).

Opinion on person is sometimes termed as “Judging”. On the other hand on any other already talked about thing, it’s just an opinion.
For e.g.: if someone says you not working well or that you have to show initiatives (yes, I work in “the” IT industry, it’s always rat race) it’s an opinion…. So what if the fellow person thinks of you like that, so do you have an opinion on him/her. Be it from a small mail sent out or to social relationships.

I do not think here, the opinion about you by another person should matter to you. What’s important is how you feel and think about yourself.

Anyone can have an opinion on anything under the sun. Some of them are:
Why the earth is called earth? Why this political party did this action? What does CM do? What does a police officer do? What does your manager work? Why is your peer sending such emails?  Why your husband dint call? Why why why….

So many matters to have opinion on…

Lastly, it doesn't matter what opinion others have on you or you have on others, it’s more important to have a self-assessment and be worth of what you are.
