We've all heard the saying, "opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one." And this is true. When someone asks for your opinion do you expect them to agree? Or do you expect them to consider your opinion when making decisions? Let's say they do consider your opinion but choose to agree with another opinion. Do you fault that person or get angry? Do you say, "why did they even bother to ask me?"
I would like to think that I fall into the category of expecting consideration of my opinion but don't get angry when another opinion is chosen over mine. I don't always agree with other's opinions. I will certainly consider information I have been given though.
Your boss comes to you and asks your opinion. Your boss also asks other co-workers their opinions. The ultimate decision is based on several co-worker's decisions and not your own. This is A-OKAY in the normal world, right? So why do I have to listen to people bitch about "why did he even ask me if he wasn't going to agree?" Is this an ego thing? Why can't certain people, just for a second, come to realize they are not the only people in the world with opinions? You have an asshole. I have an asshole. We ALL have assholes!! It's not that hard to understand!

The good news is that those who think all that matters in this world is them will find, that as they slowly depart this world, that they are also the only one that cares about them.
