The long road to disaster

Sometimes I have to wonder if people are conscious that they are changing their opinion based on someone else's choice?

I am aware that I sometimes agree with someone when I don't.   Sometimes I do this because it is easier to agree with someone than to disagree, like when you know that by disagreeing you might start and argument that you don't want to have at this point of your life you just want to continue without the disruption.  But sometimes we just let it slide because we like the person and we want them to like us more and it was not a huge leap of difference between our own ideals.  

Sometimes we see their point of view and we slowly start agreeing with them so we can hang out with them, but this is not why we hang out with people.  We blend out beliefs with others.  It is a partnership to stop ourselves from going to radical  from others out there.  

It is important to look at your loved one and occasionally tell them that you disagree with a point of theirs.  If you do this you will be helping them to become more like you and strengthen the relationship, prevent blowups in the future and relieve personal stress.  Maybe you will have more fights, but they will be arguments, an airing of opinions and not relationship ending stuff or fisticuffs.  

Maybe I am just trying to get people to open up, maybe I can see when I agree with someone because they believe something and I want to be with them.  Or maybe it is because I don't want someone I know to make the mistakes of their past.  Sometimes I do this and I wonder if that is a problem I do too.  

Time to go.  I can't remember what a agreed to without believing, but I know I have done it.
