A fore-thought on opinions

Opinion! Everybody has one.

Do you have one too? Do you need it? Does it really matter ?

When someone asks for your opinion, Are they asking for knowing it or they want you to concur with them? Does anyone's opinion actually change the matter? Why does someone else's opinion bring comfort into our decision making?

1 + 1 = 2, What's your opinion?
Well, What do I say? You have said it all.

x + y = z, What's your opinion?
Well, What do I say? I don't know anything.

What's your opinion on the hunger in Africa?
Yeah, It is very bad, but what can I do sitting at my home.

Do you need someone's illustration of a topic to get going on having an opinion? Do we need an opinion to prove our individuality? Does our opinion overcome our inability to act on it?

How often have we faced similar questions? From within us and from others.

We tend to look into having opinions of topics over which we have no control. The mind goes into a loop pondering over movie stories, over recollection of history, over the belief or disbelief of existence of God, over religions & all the while forming opinions and subjectivity all around it.

How much baggage do we carry around in our mind, that before someone opens their mouth, we already have an opinion of what they are, where they are heading, what do they need to improve in life and much more.

Contrary to popular notions instead of adding on to individuality, opinions makes us more vulnerable to typecasting.

Well there you go, Seems like someone has an opinion on opinion and also has an opinion on having it.
