[daniel695]

when does a thought become a opinion?

a thought becomes an opinion an opinion held long enough becomes a belief

what is an opinion? is when you like or dislike something. are opinion just a feeling does a feeling come before a thought or does thought come before a feeling, do we have a feeling then a thought came, in the beginning as children did we experience a feeling from other peoples opinion then come to conclusion that we should be afraid of other peoples opinion? was there a hidden assumption that other peoples opinion  can really hurt us? or were we hurt by not meeting our own opinions of yourself? let's say you have a positive opinion of yourself such as I'm good looking then someone says your bad looking then this opinion will hurt you or create certain feeling in you that will lead you to being afraid to hear bad opinion of about yourself. the three affect of opinion are negative, neutral or positive. when you have  a positive opinion of yourself and someone says a negative opinion about you then it will likely create a hurt feeling in you because thoughts, believes and opinion are artificial and fragile. where as if someone says positive thing and it meets your own opinion of yourself then you will be happy because you will believe that opinion which is a thought the same as you believing your own thought/opinion. neutral is when you don't have an opinion about yourself or something and then someone else's opinion can't hurt you. so you're afraid of other peoples opinion it's because you have an assumption that says other people opinion is valuable and can hurt me. do you believe other peoples opinion can hurt you or offer you an values?. the only thing opinions do is build the self image if its positive or bring down the self image if its negative.
