The Forgotten Art of Disagreeing

Either a person will disagree or he has ceased to think. Two human beings having exactly the same opinions on every issue is something very rare, almost impossible. Differences of opinion is a proof that we still have a functional brain.
We often face a situation wherein we disagree on a certain issue. Divergent opinion always gives us an opportunity to revaluate our opinion. It gives us an insight as to where we may have erred. I firmly believe that respecting a divergent opinion compounds your respect in your opponent's mind. Changing your opinion after re-examining it will not hurt your ego but will compound your respect.
Having said all that, a fact cannot be denied that disagreement on certain issues is a reality. Disagreeing with someone is not an issue but the method of conveying it is a major issue. Just to blindly disagree with someone reduces the authenticity of your opinion. Your worst ever disagreement can be conveyed in the best possible language. It is this eloquence that makes the difference. To refuse a request is not wrong but to display your ego while refusing it is something wrong. To disagree on certain issue & to take it at a personal level are two different things. We may disagree with certain views of a person but atleast respect him.
Blindly opposing something without examining it can only create damage at both the ends. To all my friends & foes, I may disagree with your thoughts & opinions but I very much respect you as a person. I expect this respect to be mutual.
An opinion can be criticised but a person cannot be criticised for just a divergent opinion. Think over it!
