Still Learning

I don't think there ever was a time
When I thought I knew it all
Though perhaps there was a time
When I decided
That my opinions on things
Were fixed.

And perhaps to a large extent they are,
Though in some areas I'm undecided.
It seems to me, though, that there is more
To it than holding an opinion:
It's what you do.

And as I get older I feel
Less inclined to argue
And more inclined to accept
That people have different opinions

And not wishing to be a bigot
I feel increasingly inclined to
Simply allow peopls to hold a point of view
Without arguing or ferling frustrated.

Live and let live.
I'm still learning.
