Opinions are mostly wrong (in my opinion)
Yeah, even your own. Because, here’s an eye-opener for lots of people. You’re not infallible. And before you even think I’m thinking I am, I’m not. I found out, a long time ago, how opinions are mostly wrong. And “wrong” knows no boundaries of gender, race, color, ethnicity, or religion. But I’m talking about the human aspect only.
Since opinions are mostly wrong, it’s a good idea to form one with wisdom.
But that requires work. And the kind of work the vast majority of people on our planet want to be as far away from as the East is from the West. So, what you end up with are opinions of all shapes and sizes.
And those opinions turn into debates. Debates turn into arguments. Arguments turn into pushing. Pushing into shoving. Shoving into kicking. Kicking into killing. And before you know things start to get really serious.
So, what’s a fallible human to do?
Start over with a different opinion? No, I think that would just lead to another serpent devouring itself. Maybe the solution isn’t found in opinions. Maybe it’s found in truth. And what if there’s a trustable truth? A truth so trustable it deserves a capital T. And a capital T because it represents the very source of trustable Truth.
Wouldn’t that be cool?
Well, what if I told you (like I’m telling you now) that trustable Truth is real? And I’ve got proof. How would you like that? You know what my experience has been with that idea? People don’t generally like it. In fact, they hate it. Because it takes away their silly human sovereignty. And replaces it with absolute sovereignty. And like the title to a Kim Carnes song says, “That’s Where The Trouble Lies.”
So, I’ll just leave you with this. You can learn to trust the Source of Truth now. Or you can see if you’re able to move past the extreme limitations of your dying self and selfishness. I’m betting on the first choice. Because it’s the only real choice.
But maybe that’s just my opinion, and…
Everybody’s Got One
Jesse says he wants equality; says we’ve got goals to reach
Jimmy’s war is with iniquity; says he’s got souls to teach
Norma claims that it’s her right to make her own decision
Nancy wildly disagrees; they’re on a one-way collision
Every time you know you’re right
Your opinion’s like a stick of dynamite
And everybody’s got one!
Danny says he wants respect; says he’s got a job to do
But David jabs and pokes his fun; just the same as me and you
Pat declares we all should pay to clean up our environment
And Joan believes it’s federal; so leave it to the government
Every time you know you’re right
Your opinion’s like a stick of dynamite
And everybody’s got one…everybody’s got one
Everybody’s got one
Sometimes it’s right, but sometimes we put it in the wrong place
Everybody’s got one
Sometimes we should hold back,
And those times we end up with egg on our face
It’s our right, but we’re not always right…not always right,
But everybody’s got one
Scott insists that we evolved; that Darwin proved it years ago
But Tony’s faith is with his God; the Holy Spirit tells him so
And Sue defends the life she leads; calls herself a working girl
But Kathy says she sold her soul,
And that’s the problem with the world
Every time you know you’re right,
Your opinion’s like a stick of dynamite
And everybody’s got one…everybody’s got one
Chorus…inst…chorus to end
