People will have opinions based on their lifes experiences. And opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one. Some belly button are innies (good for catching lint, parking gum or use for a ketcup cup while eating french fries), some are outies, some have a left twist, some have a right twist. Certainly it would be a very boring world if we all agreed on the same thing or we had all look alike belly buttons. In the US we have a population of ~330 million people, in the world there are ~7.3 billion folks, they are are individuals all with our own story tell. Just be a good listener & you may just learn "new' stuff as you pass through. But with than many folks it sure is hard to get a majority agreement or even a significant minor agreement.

When I was growing up our family worked hard, played hard, earned a good education our father's dream & wish. We didn't have much money, my father passed a way when I was very young, I never knew that I was "poor", our clothes & home was always clean. food on the table. One day someone told me we were poor because we didn't have the "right stuff". My reply they didn't know what they were talking about.
Pura Vida!
