Which opinion?

collected from the Internet:

..."We have an old family saying: "you value the opinions that agree with your own". Most of us tend to go opinion shopping, or forecast browsing, until we find opinions and forecasts that suit our temperaments or prejudices and declare them wise.

A wiser course would be to value opinions that disagree with your own, to challenge your own beliefs, but it's not nearly as comfortable for us fundamentally sociable animals – the comfort of being part of the herd."
