We hear a news story and an opinion comes to mind.
We see a person dressed differently and an opinion comes to mind.
We listen to a song and an opinion comes to mind.
What good does it bring if an opinion is formed of these things? These things won’t change as a result of your newly formed opinion rolling in your head.
Hold back your opinions for only those things that matter most and for which you might invest of yourself to better understand or to improve the condition of through your actions.
Move calmly on to what is next, it’s only in your head if you let it be.
“You always have the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things that you can’t control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.” — Marcus Aurelius —
