The Facebook Opinion Dilemma

Does your "serious" Facebook post really have validity?

Every opinion that has ever existed has only ever existed through the lens on the person that formed that opinion. Simply put, our perspectives are what we see as true (and they change over time). Not until one has that opinion reviewed by other’s perspective, will that option be held as valid or invalid based on a different person’s perspective.

With that being said, your opinion has to be viewed and tested by a slew of others, thrown through every possible scenario to be considered fact or highly valued. There are very few individuals that have had an opportunity to form such an original opinion or analysis that has been proven factual.

Ladies and Gents, this is Facebook, how others should feel, or should see things, or how they should view things is based on opinion. Your friends list has not proven anything factual, with each like or agreement; it just verifies that those who choose to do as such, share a liked perspective. I would be extremely fearful if everyone shared my opinions to be factual without having done concrete research and evidence to form such an opinion.

If you have 100 friends, 80 of them are active on Facebook, however your comment has 30 likes, then you should not settle for your point to be valid. You should ask yourself what are the reactions of my other 40 plus active friends? That’s stupid, however this is the dilemma of it all. Our points are shared, and backed up by nothing. Our validity is based on social value.

As I write this opinion and everything above and below...

Idealistically my opinion would have been transferred in every, race, height, weight, sex, shade, and ethnicity with the end result of every person agreeing. The fear would be based on the thought that I would have very little left to learn or be taught. In theory peace on earth however, unsustainable.

While opinions should be respected as a person’s perspective, not everyone will share those perspectives. Your opinion matters however, from a logical standpoint it’s based on time, location, era, platform and space. These are all relative to your experience while you are alive. Mostly, living is based on problem solving. When others argue your opinion, it is based on people problem solving the logics and perspective of your points.

Your Facebook is for you to share your perspective and opinions. However, lets be clear, when you talk about impossible subjects like: Politics, religion, race, ethnicity, values, health, etc., there are vast viewpoints that could make your arguments invalid. Most of the time they will be dissected at some point, with another point, counteracting your point. In which case you then have to problem solve to back up your point, as other may agree with you and others may agree with the individual(s) counteracting your point. Please take those into consideration when you post about those topics.

Telling people they should feel some type of a way about something is only valid in perspective.

My matter of opinion, I don’t want to delete a friend that doesn’t share all my values, thoughts, beliefs, etc. I want to learn perspective to gather a better understanding so that when I speak, I can speak to a vast multitude of groups. When we are able to do so, we are able to create impact and validity in our statements. The greatest minds always listened to the opinions of others even those they didn’t agree with however problem solved by understanding multiple perspectives.
