Opinions and the sort

"A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and its sincerity."
-Robert Hall

Once again, we come to the musings of a young author.  Except this time, I am not musing over frustrating critics, but over my strongly opinionated friends.  But then again...everybody is vastly over-opinionated.  So I open my parallel anecdote with the setting.

The time when young Tiger's stomach started to grumble was when IT had taken place.  Tiger sat down at her usual seat next to young Leo and Win as she listened attentively to the daily conversation taking place.  There was always a daily recount by Vivianna about her lover, Blond Boy(B.B), and it was always a solid source of entertainment for young Tiger to listen to the ways that Vivianna, Virgo and J.B planned to stalk B.B. However, the conversation took a dark twist as the "heated" argument began about the issue of money. Young Tiger watched with dark amber eyes as opinions were pushed around the conversation table. Unable to understand why the ideas must be forced upon the others, she decided to step up and try to break it up. With a small roar, she expressed her opinions, but not in the best way. After, Young Tiger had a burning sensation of guilt in her stomach for being hypocritical even though the argument was over. However, she vowed that next time (because there will be) she will find a better way than roaring at her friends. 

As you, my dear reader, see this anecdote comes to an end. And what did your dear blogger learn? Maybe yelling at people is not the best idea and maybe that pushing your opinions on others is not such a fantastic decision either. 

So, I close this blog with an apology and hopeful wish to my dearest friends. Perhaps we should all learn from the words of our ancients because, after all, life is short and we must see others' perspectives, non?
