Sarah was struck by a conversation she overheard on a train yesterday, which was between two people who knew each other but who clearly weren’t the best of friends. It went like this:

•         “I can’t believe you did that – you’re such an idiot”
•         “Fortunately I don’t value your opinion about me… hmmm, actually, I do value your opinion ‘cos I know that anything you say is based on the fact you’re ignorant, therefore the opposite must be true…”

Funny, but with a serious side to:  Whose opinions do you value?  Whose opinions are you taking on board when you shouldn’t?
