We are fortunate enough to have the freedom to express our opinions but I always feel with this should come responsibility. Because when we offer opinion it reveals more about us as a human being than the subject in question.
Sometimes an opinion is not really what it seems and the expression has underlying tones of insult. Quite often we hear an opinion starting with 'I'm not trying to be funny, but......' or 'I am not having a go at anyone, but.......' even though that is exactly the intention.

How easy it is to offer opinion and critique from behind a security blanket of no name or the security blanket of the above phrases, thinking that by veiling insults to those who have made a difference in this World, without any real thought as to whether they may cut deep into that person, hurting them and damaging their self worth.
Isn't it shameful and a poor reflection of a good human being that some people want to do this and yet try to defend themselves by saying 'I wasn't trying to be personal, it's just my opinion' or ' it's was just an honest question' and yet pepper their efforts with subtle words of insult

By offering negativeness you have to draw this from your 'self' and this resounds as an echo which can offer only a response of negativity back from which the purprotatur feeds from and yet foolishly believes this to be a proverbial meal to satisfy their constant hunger to bring others down to their failings and yet not realising that this 'meal' is actually rotting them inside.

How sad for those of you who know your intentions and to try to form an intellectual debate when in reality actually do little more than expose your soul.

I wish you well

With respect
