Life is beautiful

In my humble opinion

It's one common observation while watching cricket that most of us would have experienced. There would be a casual comment on how the master batsman should have treated the ball, how the field should have been planned by the captain or what should have been the batting line up. Most of the times the person commenting would not have even played a single ball on the pitch ever nor would have even attempted to study the game. This is an instance where opinion really does not matter but there are many other things in life where they do.

Opinion is a view, an impression, an idea, a thought towards something. One can have a strong opinion towards something but that does not necessarily represent the fact. It is important to seek knowledge about a thing before commenting on it and there are many ways of acquiring knowledge.

I feel a little uneasy when someone makes an opinion loaded statement. Earlier, I would react promptly, usually forcing a counter reaction from the person in support of the statement. Now, I have learnt to react by saying, "In my humble opinion ..... ". It's a win-win or atleast today it was.
