Differences of Opinion

Differences of opinion tend to turn calm conversations into heated debates. Whether it's where to eat, what you thought of a movie, or- dare I even say it- politics. It flusters people, and they jump to defend their beliefs. Whether they're right or wrong, it doesn't matter. "I think this, so I'm right! Why do you have to be so thick headed?"
Differences of opinion: They suck...and they are wonderful.

Without them, we would never argue because we'd have nothing to argue about. There would be world peace, or world hate (depending on what we all agree on). People would smile and say, "Yes, you're quite right. Red would look wonderful in the dinning room!"

Everything would work out perfectly, perfectly blandly, that is.

Without them, we would lose our individuality and become no more than opinionless and directionless beings set out on this earth...and for what? To eventually ascend to join some higher being, or merely regenerate and become earth once more? I don't know- what would we all decide? There would be no human progress. People would smile and say, "Yes, you're quite right. The world is flat!"

Differences of opinion- what a pain! But without them, where would we be?
Gone. That's where we'd be.

Anybody disagree?
