RE: Freedom of Speech Vs Freedom of Thought. Re-evaluating core beliefs.

in Cross Culture2 years ago

hey! thanks for the question. well i think there is a difference between sharing opinions and facts. there is no right or wrong when it comes to opinions.. its just how we feel about something and is so personal that its not even relevant what someone else things about it.. when its about something factual though i agree, it can be very helpful..

Sort:  

It's not clear to me if it's possible to draw a line between opinions and facts. Facts are facts until proven otherwise. Opinions don't become facts until they're proven to be true. So in a sense, both could be either one. Perhaps the distinction arises from the mutual agreement on whether a specific thing is true or not

well, maybe sometimes it can be a hard line to mark.. but i think normally its pretty clear cut.. if you are presenting a fact then you will be referring to something external which is qualitative or quantitative.. it could indeed change, and there are many different facts you can choose from.. but facts are facts.. observable things that are external to us.. then opinions are personal things we may base on facts (hopefully) but no always.. opinions are like you choose which facts to look at, or dont even bother at all :)

Could it be then that opinions and facts are a subjective and objective side of the same thing? :) One is oriented around an individual truth and the other around the collective. This discussion kind of made me wonder if being unable to see that slight difference is the very reason people become offended and emotional about certain stuff.

i dont think so.. at least thats my opinion. :)
mainly because opinions are almost always flawed in terms of logic.. they are just based on someones personal experiences and emotions and very biased..

basically.. opinions are when we choose to select facts and then come up with a conclusion
where as facts are just simple facts without our own judgement .. there is no judgement with fact, no diagnosis, that is the key difference.. facts are real easy to deliver, and opinions are basically judgements most of the time
