In my opinion...
Welcome back to our weekly Drop in the Ocean post where we feature the amazing content that was created for the show.
This weeks topic was Opinions and quite a few found that exciting, some found that it might be a bit too general and generally had very little to share on the topic.
Once it gets narrowed down and a person finds yourself within a more focused scope it seems that opinions increase in their veracity, some are carefully weighed and other may be more reactive without any consideration given.
No matter where your opinion finds its roots it is agreed that one should always intend to have it mean good as we strive for a unified truth. Those who are more malicious I fear no one will listen to your opinions.
Join us as we dive right into this weeks Drop in the Ocean.

How many times have I let my opinion hit someone in the guts?
In her post she shares her thoughts on opinions and how we should not be so quick to provide our own. Being mindful of the words we utter will help us to consider where our opinion originates from.
If I come across a person struggling, my words mean nothing if I don't show love.
In her opinion we should all strive to have our own opinions be grounded in love and that we have to always be wary to not bring negativity into someone else's life with unsolicited opinions with ill intention.

@YouHaveWings
Opinions may seem straightforward, we may even consider ourselves capable of separating fact and opinion, which as you read @YouHaveWings post on the topic you might find that this is not as clear-cut as we might think.
To add more complexity, the sources we used to go to for information and news have also jumped on the 'opinion bandwagon' and has become 'opinion news' filled with panels of 'opinion experts'.
Providing us with a wealth of information on how we may come to form our opinions and the many factors that may lead to us believing them to be truer over another.
