That's the way it should be... never listen to just one person, and make up your own mind about things.

For those studying psychology or education, reading through and participating on an opinions board is very satisfying. You develop a "feel" for people, an insight into how they think.

Once you can identify with a person, you'll know why his or her opinion is that way. And knowing their reasons, you can assess for yourself the validity of their ideas in your own personal context.
