Premium New York weed—grown in the Catskills

No doubt you’ve heard the phrase “Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has them.” 

And it’s true. Everyone has opinions. And everyone has assholes. But wouldn’t it be really weird if we just went around sharing our assholes the same way we share our opinions?

Imagine you’re at the grocery store minding your own business and a stranger just walks up and shows you their asshole. Like. What? Did I ask you to show me your asshole? Am I in a place that indicates I am open to seeing your asshole? No. I’m in the fucking grocery store trying to find the bulk pantry section. Leave me alone, you weirdo.

Now, imagine you’ve purchased a booth at the asshole showing convention and someone comes up and says “I bought your product, let me show you my asshole.” Yes, please show me your asshole. I purchased this booth specifically to see qualified assholes from people who can help me improve.

The point is, people give a lot of unsolicited opinions about anything from the clothing you wear to your taste in music to the way you wash a plate or sweep the floor. Their opinions have been affected by the diets of their life. Some are healthy, some give you diarrhea.

All feedback is relevant, but not all of it is actionable.

Just because you have an asshole, it doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to just show it off wherever you go. And just because other people have assholes, it doesn’t mean you need to do anything about it.

So, next time you’re thinking about giving your opinion, ask yourself “am I just showing my asshole?”
