Image result for my opinions

A couple of years ago, I reflected on my opinions and why I do not always share them all:

Sometimes I read the news and I have comments and I just decide to keep them to myself because:

A. Opinions are like eliminations systems. Everyone has one, but most produce undesirable … well, you know.

B. It won't change anyone's mind.

C. Why should I let what is popular select what is most important for me and drive the agenda of my discourse?

D. I am tired of the subject.

E. Those who agree with me already agree and those who don't won't or may not have any idea what I am talking about or what paradigm I am using to formulate my views.

F. It plays into mass hysteria.

G. It is too easy to "label" a view and dismiss it.

H. I don't have enough information.

J. I am exhausted.

K. It goes without saying.

L. I have already addressed the subject repeatedly.

M. More from me and you get numb.

N. I am a wimp.

O. It is much ado about nothing.

P. I have some other reason.

Q. I don't have time.

R. I don't have enough words.

S. It is too complicated.

T. I did and you missed it.

U. I don't have an opinion, even though I said I did at first, upon reflection and internal dialogue, I realize that I am still arguing with myself.

V. Some combination of above.

W. I fell asleep.

X. I wrote 1000 words on it and my computer crashed and it takes 100 words.

Y. Why?

Z. I know that you do not care what I think.

Take your pick.
