AFRAID TO SAY

So many of us have opinions on the tip of our tongue but we are afraid to have our say heard because we believe speaking up means that we would be put in the line of fire. This fear that resides in us has us only speaking up when our opinion is part of the consensus. Avoiding conflict might be the easier pathway but it's not the right one because broadening the range of conversation can enable others to see a valid point that they might have missed. Voices need to be heard calmly and respectfully in order for real progress to be made. If we shut someone down before they make their point how can we say that we disagree with them. Disagreeing with someone shouldn't be seen as an attack on their beliefs its merely that you prefer to do things in the way that makes sense to you. Logical thought can vary from person to person this is reflected in what we choose to put on top of our priority list. As people tend to have different priorities we should be more understanding of our differences, because that is what makes us unique. That is why it is important to see that our appreciation of things can vary and how we choose to express ourselves will not always match how others express their appreciation. So we can't always expect to agree on everything but we should at least give each other a chance to explain why they believe what they believe otherwise you'll never learn anything different from those whos opinions varies from your own.
