Aside from poetry,
I try not speak my opinion.
Only because,
my opinion rarely matters.
They say, "your opinion matters".
But opinions only matter,
if everyone else,
has the same opinion.
It is not worldly thinking.
It is simply realistic.
I will have a one-on-one debate,
and discuss the Bible.
... maybe even a one-on-two.
Yet I will not argue,
with a crowd.
I will not cast,
my pearl before the swine,
only to have them,
trample on it.
So how do I get,
my opinion across?
I keep my opinions,
to myself,
and wait until,
the right time to speak.
I think about,
who my words will benefit.
Will my opinion,
change the world,
or will my speaking,
only cause confussion,
and contention?
... and always before speaking,
I pray.
Sigh...
Still, until that time comes,
my opinion just doesn't seem to matter.

The thing is, our opinions don't really matter. Our reasoning does. You cannot win minds with opinions. ... OK. I take that back. Our opinions matter, they tell others about ourselves, but they don't have to be the same to matter to others. Don't focus on your opinion, focus on that of others, try to understand those, and you will become wise. You try so hard but you just want to convince others by the passion of your opinions. The passion with which we hold our opinions never convinces others. The reason for our opinions, and our respect for others' opinions, are what matters at the end.
Thank you for taking the time to write a comment. Now I only half disagree with you.
I enjoy your writings. I know not everything we write is literal, but you leave your feelings and beliefs out there. I embrace you for who you are, despite our differences. I know you mean the best and that you love others with the same passion. You are certainly candid and that is not always a bad thing. Best to you and everyone on MPS.
Yours does to my love,you are quite right though,I spend way to much time worrying about this same thing,
