I don't know...

#mening

DO WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT EVERYTHING ?
There was a time when I was afraid to say these three words. 'I don't know'. after all, indicated that I was either too stupid to know anything or had too little backbone to have an opinion about something.

No one had ever told me that way, but conditioning made it feel like that. and that started at primary school. The children who raised their fingers and had an answer were usually responded positively. especially if your answer was correct.
But also later, when my opinion was asked about something and I confessed that I didn't actually have one or hadn't thought about it yet, I was looked at more muddled. everyone has their own opinion, right. Just saying “I don't know” felt almost like failure. This is often the case, in the end, you have your own opinion based on your norms and values. BUT. .

Is knowing everything in black and white (without taking into account all the shades of color that exist) really a sign of intelligence? Should you spread this opinion inappropriately and inappropriately? So is your opinion the only truth? Does your opinion give you the right to judge another person's life and choices without knowing the whole story and literally walking their path?

Isn't the most honest and intelligent answer occasionally ordinary. I DON'T KNOW.

I think that's a good one. Especially on social media, everyone seems to have an opinion about it, and the more unnuanced, the better.
I'm trying to give my opinion more and more if that can have a constructive effect, breaking each other down happens too much.

Good consideration. As far as I (still) have it, I keep my opinion to myself more and more. Opinions don't matter, the more important thing is how you respond to opinions.

even though I knew the answer, my finger never went into the air. I'm going to go by my own opinion, certainly, but let everyone have their own opinion. Just listen to it and keep mine to me as much as possible.

There is a difference between having an opinion and knowing something. Knowing is based on scientific evidence, an opinion is personal.

So recognizable. My two oldest children have ADHD and they use the words “I don't know” very often. Not used to anything else. I don't know how they got there. But of course, they have already experienced a lot in their lives.
