To Each His Own?

A gripe with the phrase “To Each His Own”. I have a problem with the phrase “To Each His Own”. I mean truly everyone, think about it, what does that term actually mean? Isn’t it that it is an actual laziness to actually stating one’s opinion and is truly just the typical American attitude of everyone lets just get along. We are a melting pot and the only thing that will help us prosper is just accepting other people and their ignorant opinions? I agree with peace absolutely and it is one of my fundamental ideologies in life and a want for the world to act peacefully towards each other. The problem I have with “To Each His Own” is the idea that it bypasses true great conversation that can end up to be thoughtful and detailed conversation that makes people think and actually have cognitive processes and the discovery of other people’s cognitive processes. When I have an opinion and someone doesn’t like that and tells me, “To Each His Own” Really? Come on! Argue against me, tell me that you don’t agree with me, don’t tell me “To Each His Own”. That is a passive mind that really has no interest to experience life then. One important thing to distinguish for this, is, the fact that I am not writing off all people’s opinions and the minor ones that are irrelevant in daily life or about personal opinions about certain things for example, food, or personal taste, or personal perceptions of objective goodness. Basically, when I hear someone say to me “To Each His Own” has basically run out of things to say and has no strong arguments or really does not have much of an opinion and is possibly distracted by things that are irrelevant to things that are in the moment and the present space you are occupying in time. If you cannot argue and discuss subjects and try to consider both sides of the picture and possibly open your mind to a new perception, or try to influence another’s within the seconds of our lives that dictate our attitudes towards the outside world and eventually manifest themselves, then I cannot say that I wish to have a conversation with you. Be argumentative, say something back and disagree. You should not think that you cannot be friends with someone because they have some different opinions. Isn’t it important to surround yourself with peers that somewhat do not always agree with you? That way you can keep your mind open and realize that you are not always correct! Nobody is always correct and nobody is always wrong. When you strive closer to understanding this, then you will realize that through the collaboration of argument and discussion new paradigms will develop, which will only lead to a higher understanding of life…
