Opinions. There's nothin' else like 'em! They cling like barnacles, they WILL not give up, and they won't change for nothin'. They are ruthless, unforgiving, and impervious. Everybody's got a few and they won't part with 'em for love or money or if their life depended on it. They would much rather be "right" than be happy. They would much rather be "right" than be kind or merciful or understanding or loving or patient or helpful or any other given virtue.

Find me a man or woman with no opinions. It would be so refreshing for a change.

Such a person would either have to be totally innocent and free of all cultural brainwashing...or be a spiritual Master.

I used to love it when they'd ask Mother Teresa her opinion on all kinds of political hassles and stuff (the kind of controversies that drive the news and employ legions of lawyers), and she'd shrug and say,

"I don't know anything about that."

And she'd get back to talking about what really matters. I'm not gonna try to tell you what that is. Go read about her yourself and find out.
