everyone has their own opinions and their own points of view, but what I can't stand are people who take their own point of view, and completely shut out and ignore EVERYONE who has something even slightly different to say. and there are two kinda of people like this. there are the ones who pretend like they're listening, but haven't actually heard a word you've said, and there are those who simply cut you off, tell you your wrong, and won't let you say a word for your side.
the thing both of them have in common is they both go into a "discussion" with their minds made up. the thing is, what good is having an opinion if you don't know anything of the other side of the argument. the fact is, just because you think you know everything about a subject, doesn't mean you do. perhaps if you listen to the other side, they could say something you didn't know about before. perhaps if you listen to what they say, you can make a better argument for your side. but telling people that they're wrong about something that is based on opinions and philosophy, is a very bad way to go about living.
now i'm not going to pretend like I'm perfect. I know i'm guilty of what I've mentioned, but I try very hard to listen to what people have to say, even if I don't agree with it.
on a happier note, I have been re-reading my some of my favorite books lately. The Hitchhikers Guide series. I love these books, simply because they are such a wonderful play on humanity, and how we act with each other. and on that note, here is my comic for the day, I hope some will find it funny, and others will find it hilarious. and remember, you can click it to open in it's own screen to view.
