"Two people can look at one thing and have different opinions."

Have you ever felt strongly about something only to have someone close to you say they think or feel  completely differently?  Our feelings can get really hurt when we think or feel we know the "truth" of something and yet others don't agree at all.

How can this be? If we can clearly see or we really feel that something is one way, how is it that other people we know don't see it that way? The quote above explains this situation well. "Two people can look at one thing and have different opinions." 

If you find that you are alone in your opinion and you feel strongly about it, it doesn't mean that you are necessarily wrong.  It could be that someone else is simply seeing the same thing but having a different opinion.  A great way to figure out what you think is to find out what other people think and then decide whether or not you agree.
