opinions

i have many opinions.

some are based upon the emotion of the moment.

most, however, i would say are logical sentiments.

of course, there also exist the special ones which straddle both categories.

some opinions are important.

some, i think are important.

most, are probably just fragments of one person's perspective.

so then, why have opinions?

what can they do to the great big reality of the world?

what place can they have among the myriad theories, ideologies, and morals?

what am i to do with my opinions?

what will they do to me?

i'd like to think of my opinions as having some value.

some have great value.

many are probably small in that area.

but i can't imagine any of them having no value.

much less being of negative value.

if an opinion is in danger of having no value to me, i should not hesitate to eliminate it.

in fact, i cannot but expunge it from my soul.

but that's just one person's perspective.

i believe in my own judgement; but nobody else needs to.

i trust that the opinions i keep are good and useful.

i would even like to have them serve the great big reality someday.

someday... that perfect timing... but it seems, that someday is not today.

oh no, it does not seem anywhere near the horizon, that fateful someday.

until that day, my opinions seek shelter in my heart.

i have faith in them, that they will do great things for the world.

i look forward with fervent hope to that fateful someday when they are manifest.

until that day, my responsibility is to be patient.

the timing must be perfect for these valuable opinions.

the place of their revelation, as if foretold by prophecy.

the ears who would hear them, chosen by providence.

i have many opinions.

my many opinions have me.

but for now... all they can have is the safety of my heart.

where i will ponder over them, night and day.

where i will treasure them, for what they are.

where i will nourish them, until they are ready.

and when the great big reality finally calls upon them, they shall be afoot.

their candles ready to be lit, their lamps filled with oil.

when the ordained moment shall arrive, i will present my heart, strong and faithful.

her patience having paid off, she shall be renewed with radiant joy.

these pearls of wisdom nurtured to perfection shall then find their place amid the theories, ideologies, and morals.

and then we shall recognise that all along, we have shared these very same opinions.
