The greatest delusion is forming an opinion and taking it as truth prior to investigating if it really is true. Truth sets you free not an opinion of what is thought to be truth…
Here is a dictionary definition of the word opinion: a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. This really sums up what an opinion is and the lack of value it has. It has no value because it isn’t based on anything but a unconscious thought which don’t have any substance to them whatsoever, so without substance an opinion has no value except maybe to the one forming the opinion.
The Conditioned Mind will tell you there is value in it, but that is the delusion the Buddha talked about. If it isn’t based on something factual it’s basically valueless. When there aren’t facts, there isn’t substance and without substance theres nothing to put value on. This isn’t just for opinions, it goes for ideas, ideals, beliefs, and concepts also; they are based on the delusion of a Conditioned Mind. Before this is discounted, it should be investigated. If you just want to make up an opinion and it makes you feel better go ahead with your conditioning and do so, but understand this has nothing to do with what has been written, it’s all from the delusion within and this delusion was in place long before this article was written…
