When nobody will agree with what you have to say, is this a reason to not say it?

Question

Remember, no matter what the case, the parameter here is that nobody will believe or agree with you have to say. Is this a good reason for you not to say it?

Answer 1

No this is not a reason to not to say it. If you have ten people and the nine of them believe sth and one believes sth else there is still 10% chance that he is right. If we are going to listen to him depends on the culture and values of his society.

In United States decision making is made based on the views of the majority. This is an effective and fast way to make a decision and go forth fast but that doesn't mean that the decision taken is the best. Quality is sacrificed for time saving.

In Western cultures (ex.Japan) when a company is making a decision all the members of the executive board have to agree on it. If even one of them doesn't agree they go on and discuss the views of that person in the subject until they find the best solution that they will all support. That's why they make more solid but more slow decision.

Answer 2

Of course not!Did Einsteinor Aristotle remain silent even though they new what they had to say was contrary to popular belief? Their views were far beyond common views held at the time and they were strongly criticized but today we see how true or viable their sayings are.Sometimes the most ridiculous sounding things turn out to be the most sensible. Everyone's entitled to his/her opinion.Who knows,sometimes opinion becomes fact.

Answer 3

The perfect example of this was in Jesus' life. Not all agreed with him yet he was the Son of God Almighty. His own people Judah would not agree with him. He was even put to death for his desire to preach goodness in living and pleasing God. He was tried as a criminal and put to death by Roman hands and of his own Jewish government even when allot of people knew he was not.
I would If is right, then make sure it is said. If it is wrong or teaches wrong then do not and keep still and be silent.
A good tool to us is the word of God. The bible
(2Ti 3:16) All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Answer 4

No. I think it's probably a reason TO say it. People may not agree immediately but sometimes widely held opinions need their foundations shaking. That's how thought progresses.

Answer 5

The Way i see it is that you can say whatever you like because those who don't like it will tell you so. Your not wrong for having an opinion, You would be wrong for just going with everyone else to fit in.

Answer 6

It all depends upon how important your statement is and how vital it is to you to have friends. When Noah built his ark, I don't suppose that anyone around him believed that there was to be a flood, but he would probably have felt something of a cad if he hadn't at least mentioned his belief to them before it happened. After it happened, of course, their opinon became irrelevant.

Answer 7

How can you be sure of that, if you don't say anything? I think you should say what you have to say, unless it gets you hanged and you don't want it. They might disagree now, but maybe in time they will remember you saying it.
Not saying what you have to say will always keep you wondering about "what if I said it?". Try it.

Answer 8

Don't give what is holy unto dogs and do not cast your pearls before swine,for they will trample them underfoot. Only an insecure speaker will talk to whomever will listen.They should share them with who wants to learn not argue.

Answer 9

If that is the case, I choose not to say it. Why cast my pearls of wisdom before swine?

Answer 10

Absolutely not. Every one is entitled to confirm just how big a fool they are or how great a genius.
