Keeping track of opinion
Opinion, eh? It’s a difficult thing to keep track of. That might sound like a ridiculous statement, but to prove my point I would like you to take a simple test:
1) Remember what you thought of tea when you a child. A cup of tea, I mean. Now remember what you think of it now. It shouldn’t be too hard for you, seeing as whenever you read this it is technically ’now’.
2) Remember what you thought of music when you were younger. Are your tastes still the same? Unlikely.
3) Remember what you thought of scary films when you were 5 or 6. And now…?
I think I have made my point. With the test I am illustrating, of course, those massive noticeable changes of opinion which are obvious, but everyday life is full of opinion-shifting to a much lesser degree. Every day, I’d say, I re-evaluate things and come to a new and different conclusion. It may be very similar to the previous day’s conclusion, but it has still evolved.
This is what I mean by opinion being a difficult thing. We go through our lives and are supposed to somehow keep track of the millions of different opinions we have about things, and if one day we get it wrong then there is always someone on hand to point it out to us. From everything from hybrid cars to toothpaste, we’re constantly trying to work out which side we’re on.
So don’t beat yourself up if your not very decisive. That is part of being human, after all.
