What’s wrong with disagreeing?

By: Mona
.......................

I am not sure why in the world people think you hate them because you disagree with them. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing. There is nothing wrong with giving your point of view instead, but in a constructive and non-insulting manner. It doesn’t make you stubborn, but open to new ideas and different thoughts.

I have no reason to agree with you all the time. Really, I don’t have to. Most of the time I probably won’t. Why? Because I am a different person. I have different thoughts and perceive life in a different way. Since I don’t agree with you, does not mean I will not listen to you, but I have every reason to reply back. I have every right to say what I feel should be said to correct you, or to tell my side of the story.

That’s why we are individual people. Can you imagine if we all agreed on the same things all the time? My God! The Utopian life! Too bad, reality is not like that, so learn to accept my point of view, and LISTEN!

    How can you say that ??!! We are Arabs, each and every one of us is always right, the decision and the opinion of each and every one of us is final and his ideas are Flawless, replying is not allowed or accepted . Why do we need to hear others from the first place, why play with perfection. Each and every one of us is wise enough and greatly knowledgeable and his thoughts are extraordinary that he doesn’t have to revise it or even doubt its authenticity .

    @Mohammad
    Are you for real? Do you want people to come here and trash you back? Seriously, I am an Arab and probably the most outspoken truthful blogger, but I never go around saying that crap. Secondly, this post has nothing to do with politics. It is a general thought about people and every day life.

    Jeez. No wonder the world does not like Arabs. It is Arabs like you that make it difficult to negotiate anything with the rest of the world.

    I really liked this post, tolerance and understanding is what we need in order to cooperate, if people listen to others with no previous judgment and with open mind, great results will be achieved .

    @Mohammad I believe you were trying to express an idea, your comment was funny but some people might find it intimidating .

    @Mona I’m really shocked :???: Did you really think my post was for real and that it really expresses my own opinion, Its just a way of criticizing some mentalities by overreacting how they think. and believe me this type really exists .

    Politics were not in my mind at all when I commented .

    May be I did not use the right way of expressing .

    @Natalya Thanks for understanding the idea, after reading Mona’s comment I agree with you about the intimidation .

    So it took you over an hour of refreshing my page over and over to come up with that? Nice going. Yah. You were really funny. Anyone else reading it would not think so.

    nice post.You know,The problem is that people think that disagreeing with them is an insult to their mental and judgemental capabilities and they refuse to admit that they may be wrong like any human being.
    This “ego” dilemma is really suck amd those who have it are completely failures.

    You have some very valid points. Disagreeing does make us individuals. So many people take it personal when you don’t agree.

    When people don’t want to listen to my/anyones opinion, I just tell them that they are absolutely insignificant on this planet for not listening to another point of view. More often than not I haven’t had a comeback to that…

    @Mohammad – love the sarcasm!

    @Mona – dude, lighten up sometimes… really!

    I used to be part of the debate society back in college. All we did everyday was take sides on an issue and argue, argue, argue. We’d flip a coin to see who’d argue which side, even though sometimes we believed in the opposite of what we ended up arguing for.

    But we were, all of us, the best of friends, and never took the arguments or disagreements to heart. In fact, it helped us see things clearly, to be able to argue both sides of an issue.

    A utopian world, in my opinion, would be a world were all people understood and respected each others’ differing opinions. :)

    @Mohammad
    if u were joking about Ur first post u would of said that, or some-how brought into notion of Ur perspective of being “sarcastic” which I frankly could tell you weren’t, given the fact that you are an Arab yourself who responded to this blog post….
    it’s people like u these days that cause things like what are happening in the middle east to occur…
    Being an Arab and being surrounded by them all my life am able to say that they are all hard-headed pieces of trash that think their opinion is better then everyone else’s, and everyone should bow down to them…well too bad so sad don’t try to hide yourself, just so that others would accept you..clearly u were contradicting yourself numerous times when u commented on this post..it’s ok to disagree Mohammad..you just don’t need to hide it in order for people to accept your opinions and views.

    I respect your opinion, after all we are in a virtual world over the net, and there is no way to prove or know who is who, you have all the right to think that my first post was expressing me, you have the right to think my second post was just me trying to hide, two other readers whom I don’t know considered the first post sarcastic .

    I will sound stupid if I say no I was not hiding bla bla bla so its OK. All I can say honestly is that when I posted that first post, I had no intentions whatsoever in getting all this attention or upsetting some people .

    @Mona It took me more than one hour on this page to make this post, but no refreshs at all this time for a change :D

    @Mona I know your capabilities very well, I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time now, sorry that you got it in a wrong way, that was not my intention, I never meant to mock you, I TRULY CONFESS THAT IN MY SECOND POST HERE I STAYED MORE THAN ONE HOUR REFRESHING AGAIN AND AGAIN MONA WAS RIGHT, I NEVER SAID AGAINST THAT’ I NEVER DENIED THAT, I just wanted to ease things, and I meant it as a joke not as a mock . I apologize if it looked as a mock .

    Natalya? I wasn’t talking to you? Do yo know Mohammad? You are using the same IP address as Mohammad now. I am confused. I wasn’t even addressing you Natalya, and Mohammad is now on my site and used your name to comment? I don’t understand. What’s wrong with you people?
