The Gift they Keep on Giving
Opinions are worth what you have paid for them Absolutely nothing They are for the sheer delight of the giver The all-knowing If I were you crowd who really want to control you confuse you tease you and keep you under their thumb Wading through their swamp of I know what’s good for you persuasions and ironing out the creases of their misguided logic you make it to the other side None the wiser for their unwanted gifts and decide to ignore it all Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Word Prompts Opinion - Word of the Day Tease - RDP Iron - FOWC Image by Engin Akyurt from Pixabay

I suppose that generally I take the opposite view. If people didn’t care about me at all they wouldn’t waste their time offering advice. So if someone gives me their opinion I weigh it and see if there’s something good in it for me. I’ve actually learned a lot that way. 🙂
Oh yes indeed, there are many who will help and give you great advice which is welcome. I’m happy you don’t have too many busy bodies in your life! 🙂 They can be quite annoying. Thanks for reading Christine.
Well, I’m a lot older — so maybe people have given up? 😉 But now that I think of it, there are people, myself included, who toss out random opinions about this or that — and later discover they didn’t have the whole picture before speaking. (blush)
We are all guilty of it, aren’t we? LOL!
Ah, opinions. So many, so worthless.
Yep you get what you pay for … nothing!!
Very apt!
Don’t let opinions drag you down. ..
I wouldn’t mind if it is what film to watch or what color I should paint the kitchen, but for life altering decisions? Please! 🤣 LOL!
hahaha. well, you know, every has their “two cents!”
Indeed they do. I probably do too LOL! 🤣
I’ll give you my two scents
So well expressed, Christine.
Thanks dear Punam 🙂💕
You are welcome dear. 💞
Amen. Well stated.
Yes, thank you! I get so tired of it.
