Respecting Different Opinions is an Art, we need to Learn it! *Disagreement happens. And why should not? The world would be too boring if we all have the same opinion, right? But that doesn't mean we have to disrespect others.* I wouldn't say, you have to accept all the opinions. Because I know how hard it is. But at least you can step ahead a little bit and show respect! It's easy to stereotype someone, pass judgemental comments, give a tag to someone or say something bad. But it takes guts to agree. Or you don't have to agree at all but hold yourself from passing negativity. *I'm not here to advise you about anything because I believe we all are adults and well known about how we should respond. But it sometimes makes me feel really uncomfortable and somewhat frustrated actually to see people do this very often. Like if you talk about a certain thing and if someone has a different opinion he/she wouldn't choose to be polite and show respect at all; most of the time.* That's why learning this art is essential!

Isn't it normal for all of us to see the world from a different perspective? We can gently remind others that we have a different point of view so they can consider seeing things differently. But we choose to be blind! You may wonder, why I'm saying this? *Well, there's something nasty happening in my country, something about politics and people put themselves in a blame game. What made me more frustrated to see is people don't have any respect for others' opinions. Yeah, I know it's hard to accept but at least we can hold ourselves back from disrespecting; what do you think?* And not just that, in our personal life too. We can't hold back from criticizing others badly, we forget that we can do it objectively without any personal attack. Remembering the boundary of what should we do and not is definitely an ART! Can we reconsider learning this?

I haven't really seen anyone discussing such things, so I want to thank you. Because you have given a beautiful lesson in the middle of this writing. But yes I always respect the opinion of others and this is what everyone should do.
Good to know that you find my writing different and something useful, maybe. It's really true that we sometimes forget our lines and disrespect others. I wish we could understand this more. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Correct, we all should agree to disagree with respect. People sometimes forget their personal relationship with others when it comes to politics and they become nasty and disrespectful.
Totally, we forget our boundaries and think it's okay to disrespect like we are the only right ones. I wish we all could understand this. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
You can agree to disagree. We should respect what people think and they should also respect what we think. All the best, dear.
That's what I also believe. Thanks for sharing your opinion.
The point you express here is an extremely important one. We must learn the ability to shift perspectives in our mind; then we can not only respect others' opinions, but actually understand them - even while we do not share them.
Yes, even when we do not agree we can choose to set a boundary rather disrespecting anyone. Thanks for your thoughtful input. :) :)
Having different opinions is accepted in a democracy. But, the current tech world is not impartial to views. There is hardly any freedom of speech in the mainstream world, which is ruled by the mainstream news media, social media giants supported by the ruling governments. Let's mutually engage in our content.
I agree with you. It's tough to talk sensor-free about any political issue. I wish we could understand and learn to respect others' opinions.
