Choices

March 9, 2008 / by elfie33

People have been making a lot of choices lately.   Which is fine....we all  have to make them sooner or later.   Some we don't like and some we do.  

But I don't understand why some people think that if others don't make the same as they do…. then they are all of a sudden- wrong, or betraying them.    Sure doesn't sound like they are giving them any choices.....

So just for myself or if anybody out there in cyber land wants to know...  These are the choices I make for myself..  If they aren't yours...that's cool.....I'm not here to impress anybody. 

If you don't like it don't read it. 

If it offends you stay away from it.

Opinions are like assholes everyone has one.  

If nudity or bad language bothers you, then don't look at it or don't read it.  When you do and complain that’s redundant.

I have friends/family who are believe in different things, including lifestyles, sexual orientation, and what constitutes a family.  I don’t tell them how to live their lives and they don’t tell me how to live mine.   This is my choice if it isn’t yours that’s fine.  But if you ask me my opinion and I give it to you don’t act surprised -  you asked. 

So there you have it.....we all make choices in life and these are just a few of mine.

    Yes! Yes! And another Yes!  The reasons why we state opinions and "scenarios", whether our own or in general, is to portray an honest point of view.  We all do hope that everyone will agree and we certainly don't mind if we manage to persuade someone (or at least get them to think about something and consider it).  But, as humankind goes, differing opinions are bound to exist.  We might think their opinions are as wrong as they think ours are.  So, discussion is welcomed, but not offensively.  Some sense of open-mindedness or a desire to "find a happy medium" is expected, not a blatant accusation and a "slamming door" on the subject. I may not agree with every opinion, but I will respect the PERSON when I disagree.  (But, not when the person doesn't deserve my respect!)

    That was my Momma....if you did not want an honest answer then don't ask the question. I miss her.  You are right, we all have opinions and different ways we live our lives.  Nothing wrong with that. Good post.
