RE: The Last Opinion You’ll Ever Have
Interesting again.
I am not necessarily aim to change somebody else's position, or opinion. The stalemate situation happens more often than the 360 Win.
But how I respond to someone with an opinion and also to someone insisting on a position - that's emotional intelligence. No quarrel - but smile. Strength.

Thank you, I like discussing the topic with you. I am not going to quarrrel, just continue further. As you mentioned the responding option, it is really good application for EI to tackle with toxic people, for example. The next level is expressing your opinion with purpose to make it popular among others. To my view, without action your opinion or position has no value, as nobody is aware. Sometimes, it is very hard for people to insist on their very smart point.
That's just the point - and a good one:
A steadfast, particularly non-mainstream *Position is rarely perceived as popular, even though it may be. Look at Trump Ralleys and the Welcome he received in Poland vs. how the MSM portrait it and make believe the opposite of what is happening.
That's why Opinion Polls are garbage. Used during election campaigns, they are a manipulation tool - as is any person who loudly voices their opinion.
The Constitution of the United States doesn't need opinions - it needs people who stand firm on it's values, defending her Position.
Standing firm on one's Position can be a very lonely place.

I have got your point. You developed your definition further. You could not be confident in your position without the strong belief. Of course, the truth is ultimate right thing, opinion can not be neither right or wrong. Opinions are ways, that individuals utilise to alter the truth in their favor. The matter is that you cannot change the truth and it is common that you do not know the truth. But you can show that your opinion is truth-alike by formulating your position, which is promise of opinion (kind of your truth perception) pursuing in your everyday life.
