Voice your opinion

The other day I was going for a movie and asked my friends if they wanted to come. Most of them said “The movie is really bad its better you don’t go for it” and when I asked them if they had already watched the movie their answer was “No, I didn’t watch it but I know the movie is bad because the critics gave it a bad review”. My question here is ‘How can you built your own opinion based on someone else’s ?’
I think people just don’t think on their own because it is easy for them to adopt someone else’s opinion. Every article or review given in a newspaper or magazine is from that author’s perspective and not ours. We may agree or disagree to something but for that we need to think on our own instead of blindly believing whatever the other person is saying. Every person is entitled to an opinion.
Fear is one of the key factors which resists a person from giving his view. It can be fear of going against the majority or fear of being laughed at or simply fear of giving an opinion. One of the basic steps is to overcome this fear and stand up for oneself. A person has to believe in himself to be able to voice their opinions.
I ‘ve started writing this blog to give my personal views and to speak my mind out. I hope after reading this article other people also start thinking and speaking for themselves.
