My Opinion

Someone reminded me that no one wants to hear his opinion until they ask for it.  How true this has been in my own life.  Any number of times, I have given my opinion on something without anyone asking, and they simply changed the subject or made as if I had not said anything.  No response to my opinion.  So I try not to give my opinion until someone asks for it.  It is only my ego that believes people are interested in what I think.  Often, I say, “I suggest,” or “You might want to think about…” but if I sound like the law or rule, I get ignored either in their non-response or their non-action to what I say they need to do.  The way I live my life often speaks for itself, both for good and bad.
