Opinion

"The belief that one's own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous of all delusions." ~ Paul Watzlawick ~

 

Reading the above-mentioned quote, I remember one short scene in SATC. In the scene, Carrie was together with Aleksander, one boyfriend of hers in the season 6. they were with Aleksander's workmates. One topic they discussed was their hostility towards people's opinion on something. When they asked Carrie, she responded, "I cannot answer that question because I am a writer where in my writings, I depend on people's opinion."

 

In this era, one view of (the so-called) reality can be, in fact, just an opinion or assumption. And Carrie's response struck me. Most writings of mine are based on opinion, even worse perhaps just based one assumption. This is why recently I have reduced my time to write for blogs. Perhaps it will be better if I 'hide' my opinion or assumption behind fiction. And I am not good at all to write fiction.
