Journal 41: Opinion v Thought

     “The world is not run by thought, nor by imagination, but by opinion”, this quotation is from Elizabeth Drew. It contains a deep meaning that I am not sure that I totally understand it. Everyone has his or her opinion, so he or she might use different angel to see the same thing or person. For example, some people think that we have dinner with family is very important because it is the only time that everyone can really spend time with family on week days. On the other hand, someone might think that individual time is more important, so people should spend more time to do what they want to do. To me, I think family is very important, so I would like to spend time with them. I know that everyone has different thought and opinion, so I won’t force others to stand on my side or agree my opinion. I don’t like someone force me to agree his or her opinion. Therefore, I won’t do that to anyone too. If I really need to persuade someone that my opinions are better, I would provide enough information or detail in order to let that person know what I am thinking.
