It’s taken me a long time to learn the lesson that I don’t need to have an opinion on every single subject.
Example: what should Biden do?
I don’t know! I could work hard and come up with an opinion — and then work to convince others of its rightness — but why? I wouldn’t change a single mind that needed changing. All that work wouldn’t matter.
I certainly do have opinions and will be voting, as always. But I’ve finally learned that I don’t always need to have an answer.
