In life and the situations that arise, I often find myself being with who I'm with. I'm not too partisan. Like I can see all sides of an argument and tend to be the peacemaker. Some things aren't worth falling out over. Would you call this unprincipled? Should I form firm opinions and get off the fence? Problem is I'm split all over the place. And I admit given the chance I'm a self-interested opportunist. But I'm not overly cowardly and will stick up against injustice. I really think though people should come together and put aside their petty disputes. I can like anyone if I like them, doesn't matter about their politics or opinion on issues. Likewise, I can easily find myself disliking someone who shares my core values, probably because they remind me of myself.
Wow all of this makes me a selfish **** People are with me ! or not , if not move on Life is too short to be walking on egg shells
I form firm opinions and don't have falling outs with people. Now, because of some people's personal way of looking at things, they've decided to have a falling out with me, and that's okay. That's their prerogative and there is nothing I can do about that. But I'm not going to hover on the fence to appease people. I state my opinion and people either hate me or they don't. And if they do, and they avoid me in real life, or put me on ignore on a place like this. Cool. That's their deal; not mine. I just be me. And some people are along for the ride and some aren't.
I am always happy to talk to people with different life experiences to my own, Particularly when they are from other parts of the world. While I have a good knowledge of certain subjects, their are others (particularly history and geography) that I am often clueless about, but rather than avoid them, I tend to listen and say little. People who claim to know everything and babble constant rubbish are the ones who I try to avoid. A couple of months ago, someone at a party was claiming to be an expert on classical music. When I managed to get a word in, I asked him how many operas Tchaikovsky wrote. He soon changed the subject LOL
that has zero to do with anything...you do know that right?.....there aren't very many people who openly say astrology is real here on hipforums.......those that do are usually in for a flame fest.........its probably too late because you've already asked the question...your credibility will take a huge hit...be careful we are hippies and free spirits alike but we aren't gullible morons
I getcha. I think that keeping calm and refraining from forming strong opinions on minor issues is a good thing. It means that you are agreeable. The caveat, as others have mentioned, is that you have battles to pick; that you stand up for the select things that are important to you.
agreeable?...or a pushover?.....maybe a conformist?......there is nothing wrong with having an opinion i try and be righteous.....
A pushover is a person who is too agreeable, I would think. There is nothing wrong with having an opinion, but it is also a virtue to know when and where to express and defend that opinion.
It was a question out of curiosity for myself because I love astrology and I don’t care that you don’t, I didn’t ask you to like it and I also didn’t ask you so piss off!
and i love telling people its meaningless, fake and that believers are ignorant to bring it up on a public forum and expect me to not say anything....i fuckin live for it... i'm not the op....i don't go along to get along...........'piss off' is about the level of reply i expect from a candy button
i'm the same way, to an extent at least. i don't like to argue over pointless bullshit (at least not usually, you will catch me doing so for sport every once in a while though). and really, i think i am pretty good at seeing both sides of an issue. which kind of makes it hard to take sides when i have to, because a lot of times i really don't think either side is entirely right. that said, astrology is total bullshit and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
I Bundle Astro's And Vege's Together.....Both Of Them Are Little "Off Center"....... They Be Hating Me......I Be Trolli'n.... Cheers Glen.
