Opinions are not opinionated

Everyone has an opinion, all of which deserve equal respect. The only time someone’s opinion is not respected, is when the listener is opinionated. 

In reality, opinions are neither wrong nor right. That is what allows us to respect them. It’s okay if we disagree. I respect your right to opinions just as you would respect mine. No anger, no judgement, no argument, no responsibility to agree or disagree. One's opinion could literally have no effect on another's life. Unless one of those in the conversation, is actually opinionated. Opinionated means you have decided your opinion is “right” and those who disagree are “wrong”. Which, as it turns out, is actually kind of humorous, because that opinion is …... wrong. Just food for thought.
