We Are Not Always Right: Respect Every Opinion

We all have different opinions upon things, and we cannot just say that someone is wrong just because their perspective doesn't conforms with our beliefs.

Whenever I am browsing in my newsfeed in Facebook, I mostly encounter a post about opinions. Opinions that could be based on facts, or just merely a speculations or assumptions about something.
However, some says that there's no wrong answer especially if the questions require an opinion. That's what teachers always say to boost the confidence of the learners.
But, some are saying that an opinion could be false if it's not based on truth.

Maybe, some of you already encountered an opinion topic regarding the upcoming election here in the Philippines. The people share different beliefs and opinions about the candidates for election next year. Some are throwing grudges to each other, saying that the other parties are wrong on their opinions just because they see and think about things in a different way.
The funny thing is that, most of the people are acting like a very smart person but ends up showing how cheap their minds are. I am not saying that they have no brains at all, but what I mean is, they lack consideration and empathy to understand people's diversity. They only think of themselves as right, and if someone disagrees on them, that person will be considered as brainless.

I have this friend on Facebook who is fond of staining others' opinion just to lift himself up, and be considered as a very smart. He is supporting a candidate for election and his way of endorsement is to throw grudges on the other opposing candidates. He keeps on sharing offensive memes and if someone calls him up, he will then play as a victim.

I am really tired of this kind of scenario so sometimes, I just leave my Facebook account and spend my time in noise.cash more.

In addition to that, his political stand was just influenced by his teacher. I am quite disappointed that the teacher is supporting such an offensive acts just because they are supporting the same candidates and sharing the same beliefs.

They are only respecting those people who have the same perspective as them, and refuse to understand other's opinions which are not in accordance to what they are believing for.

For me, everyone deserves respect. Despite the differences we have, we should always be there to understand everyone as we are all unique and rational beings.

Yes, I do understand that thinking and saying things based on facts are better than just spreading assumptions. But, I do believe as well that it's okay to share our opinions upon something that doesn't require a factual and technical answer.
Life is not like an objective type of test. There's no one correct answer, and every opinion is acceptable as long as it came from our own mind and heart.
A rhetorical question or statement could be answered using our opinion, and that's how our life works.

Yes, we should seek for the truth, but what if, the truth we know is just a lie, and other's opinions that we refused to accept at first is the truth? That's why, we should always be opened about everyone's opinions. Because not all the time, we are right. We are not intelligent enough to know all the truth in the world.

There are things that we don't know, while others are expert on it. And there are some things that other people don't know about, but we are knowledgeable on it.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

Life is full of thoughts. Pieces of information are mixed together and it's somehow difficult to identify what's the truth or lie. Opinions are everywhere that intends to express what's on the people's mind. There lies the differences about how the people think upon something, and that's when the challenges happened when the other's refuse to listen and understand.
Despite the differences in our opinions and beliefs, let's practice the sense of being respectful and understanding. If someone disagrees on us, we cannot force them to believe on what we are saying right away. It takes time for a person to open their minds on new knowledge especially if they previously knew a different information about it.
We cannot easily unlearn what is being learned.

On that note, let's learn how to understand each other's opinions, and let us be more understanding and respectful.
