Opinions - we all have 'em

I remember the first time I understood that people think differently than me.and that was ok?  Before I learned this little yet big fact, I thought if people didn't agree with me they were just being argumentative or just plain didn't get it, whatever I was putting out on the table.  Another reason was I thought (those were the days I shouldn't have been thinking on my own anyway) but, had lots of ya-buts then too. Another reason is that if you didn't agree with me I felt I was being put down by you...that I was ignorant or something.  Well, I am sure others are happy to know that today I know how to allow others their own opinions...right or wrong and it's ok.  People think what they think...that's how they think and that has got to be ok with me.  And, it is.
