Everybody Has an Opinion

Opinions are ideas that we grab as they are flying by in the mind at the time the need for an opinion exists.

Considered opinions are based upon some thought and study; they are developed before the need for an opinion exists or after the need exists but the response is delayed until due consideration is accomplished.

Judgments are conclusions reached after careful study and analysis. Judgments are hard to come by and represent the best that is available in the mind at the time needed. Judgments I suspect are often things of pride because they represent my understanding of a matter?-they represent what I am about.

Sophomoric judgments: sophomoric?-conceited and overconfident of knowledge but poorly informed and immature. A sophomoric judgment is created at a special time in a person's life, it comes after the individual has gained some knowledge, often extensive knowledge, but the individual is not yet a mature adult. It is a phase of life for many of us and apparently just comes naturally. I suspect it is an egocentric impulse that cannot be denied.

I suspect most of us have had the sophomore ecastasy.
