Opinions

We were in a large group meeting yesterday, when a particular movie came up. It was amazing how far apart opinions were of this movie. I thought it was absolutely hilarious, while someone else thought it one of the dumbest movies ever made. He was in the minority of those who had seen the movie. On the other hand, there were movies he thought were the best ever, and I could not stand. And in those, I was in the minority.

We have a problem. Every person in this world, have a God given right to be able to think for themselves. This means that we can have differing opinions, and not have to suffer some bizarre consequence for believing the way we do. This may seem counter productive for one striving to become the Evil Overlord, but I am glad we have differing opinions. Granted, there will be those who do not want me to be the Evil Overlord. They are entitled to believe that as much as they want. They can continue in that belief until they start acting upon it. At which point they will find that they have been arrested and placed in my prison structure formerly known as France.

I don’t want a bunch of yes men around me either. If someone does not think my plan will work, they need to speak up and say so. I need to listen to their opinion because of that off chance that they may be right. Opinions are important. But there is an age old adage that states: Your facts may be correct, but my opinion is always right.

Do not mess with me!
