Ignorance Towards Opinions

One thing that I absolutely and uncontrollably hate more than anything else! That would be people telling others their opinion is wrong! Honestly, what the heck! Really now? How can you tell someone their opinion is wrong! It's not yours to choose! It's not yours in the first place! Let people have their own opinion! Don't try to control them! That is one messed up thing. Why would you try to do that! Honestly, if you're saying theirs is wrong your pretty much saying every single opinion on that matter other than yours own is wrong! You know what that would be called? Selfish! That ticks me off more than anything.

I don't get why people ask for others opinion if all they are going to do is shoot it down and say it's dumb.

So here's an example for you. So at my school the Twilight Saga is HUGE! Everyone is reading it and everyone has their favorite character. There's this big fight over who like Jacob and who likes Edward. So if you talk to someone that likes the opposite they get into this dumb argument! It's honestly so dumb. All I want to do is hit the two who are doing this. Yes, I'm not a huge fan of one of them and I do joke sometimes about how I can't believe people like the other one. But I'm not going to say, "what the hell is your problem? Are you the dumb for liking them!" I'm not the stuck up.

It's so ridiculous! I just want to scream.

The other day I was standing with some friends and we got into this discussion. (To tell you the truth at first when barely anyone read the books I loved talking about them but now it's so out of hand I hate it everytime it comes up) Well there was one person who likes Jacob and they shoot down every opinion other than theirs! I WANTED TO SCREAM. I wanted to hit them, tell them to grow up and learn how to listen to others, after that walk away.

People need to learn to listen not just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk talk. That will get you NO WHERE in life. If you can't listen to someones opinion on a book, A BOOK... SOMETHING THAT IS NOT REAL, how are you going to be able to listen to others when you work FOR someone.

It's really not that hard to shut your mouth and listen. Then when you want to talk about it don't just shoot every single little thing down. You are pretty telling them they are dumb and need to agree with you and there's no other choice. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. I don't see how people can do that!

Well that is my rant. My message for you. Don't be stuck up. Don't be ignorant to others when it comes to opinions. If your the one who is shooting every opinion down other than yours, you're the one looking dumb. Listen and shut your mouth sometimes. You don't have to argue every time someone doesn't agree with you. LISTEN!!!! It's as simple as that!
Simple,
