Whose opinion matters the most?

Mine or yours?

I have seen friendships end because of opinions. Would you change your opinion to save a friendship?

Seems like both friends should agree to disagree and not broach the subject. Let their friendship flourish and blossom in areas in which they agree. No one is going to agree 100% of the time and I'm not sure why one or the other would need to change their view.

Real friendship smiles at differences. A few years ago I lost my BEST friend. Sonny was a Christian. He was a dedicated Methodist. He was a Democrat (his daddy was a Democrat, his kids are Democrats, etc), he supported Unions, even lost his job once because he supported a union that wanted to unionize the cotton mills.
I am a Republican/Independent, I believe in right to work. At times we joked bout our differences but we never did get upset. I loved Sonny like a brother, I miss his honesty, his integrity and friendship. WE had more important things in common that differences faded.
NO, friends do not have to change their opinions, they cherish the friendship.

Just my opinion.

Principles vs. Preferences

Too many folks get riled over preferences. I think that too often we conflate our preferences with principles, getting far too upset over minor matters.
