Interpretation

annundrielSpeaking generally, sometimes I have to remind myself that just because someone else may have a different interpretation of something than I do does not mean that my own interpretation is necessarily wrong. It's just different.
You'd think I'd be over stuff like that what with college and all. I feel like I need to get better at owning my opinions. The problem is, though, that when presented with a well put argument or statement I can't help but say, "Well, yeah, okay." Which isn't me just rolling over and taking it. I really do mean well, yeah, okay. It's kind of like how I always thought those people in Philosophy were weird for getting their panties in a twist over Descartes or Kant. Getting angry isn't going to solve anything. Plus, in that case, they're dead. You're not going to change their minds.
Just one of those things I have to tell myself occasionally.
Why am I even up at two in the morning? Geez.
