Opinion Hater

Have you ever felt like you can't tolerate the fact that other people get to have opinions? I have been feeling this way all week, and it's new-ish to me, so I'm not exactly sure what do about it.

First off, I'm not exactly sure why I feel this way. Does the feeling stem from pride that my opinion is more informed, more logical, or simply better that the counter opinion presented? Maybe it is more of a complete lack of desire to debate the issue at hand. Maybe I'm just worn out from having to defend my opinions the last little while? Tired and overworked? (Unlikely, if you saw my study habits recently.)

The solution to the problem, regardless of the origin, is the simple. Muster increased amounts of patience and say my words in my head before I say them out loud. While I master this skill, be patient with me!
