People and their opinions

Filed Under Thoughts

Just because they have done something, it automatically entitles them to be the expert? Giving all sorts of expert opinions when they themselves can tell apple from orange? Well, its just my opinion! ;-)

Here is the deal. To me, when one decides to give out opinions, sometimes, they have to hold some kind of responsibility in doing so. Especially when influencing another. Most importantly, when giving out advise, you must at least stand in the shoes of the other person to know what to say. The thing which annoys me is that people general don’t and that the onus is then left for the recipient. Sometimes, these influences may involve someone’s life savings and not just a piece of advise on where I can find a nice condo hotel. That is sheer irresponsibility and what’s worth, if that person is someone whom you call a family or a close friend.

Some would say that its tough luck or that’s your decision, sure but it cannot be denied that what someone says, does have an impact. Its human nature and we are not perfect. So, those people who relish on dishing out what they think should stop and think about what they are saying to the other before blindly saying it.
