GIVING OPINIONS

The popularity of social media over for the last several years has made it possible for any and everyone to give their opinion on about any subject on any number of platforms and outlets. According to our Constitution as a country…we all have the right to our opinion. I believe I have responsibility and privilege to give mine as well on occasion. I might give opinion in this Journal perhaps but not on the other media because I rarely go there. I do go to several blogs that I think might have good opinions that are well thought out. So much of the Facebook and Tik Tok and Twitter and Instagram (over 1 billion monthly users…what?) … and others all have opinions. Hey, whatever…. As long as I know all of my opinions are right and all the others are up for assessment and evaluation…I guess it’s OK.

“Everything is as good or as bad as our opinion makes it.” C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

“Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions.” The Book of Proverbs 18:2

I am headed over to the other side of the pond to try to figure out how to use Instagram and deliver a message to a billion people. As soon as I figure out how to get my email out of Spam and back in my inbox I shall invade Instagram. Time for Cuban Coffee and Vanilla-Raspberry Quinoa Pudding.

“The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.” Jesus
