Opinion Vs Fact

It has become a daily occurrence now that I'm reading or having a conversation and left thinking of how people form opinions about the lives of celebrities or any other folk and seem to state those opinions as fact.

A few minutes ago I was checking in on Facebook and someone had posted an article about Paris Jackson (Michael's daughter) being admitted to the hospital for what is claimed to have been a suicide attempt. Reading the comments about how the family is responsible due to their raising of the girl and how they haven't learned anything since Michael passed away just amazes me.

I am about 99.9% sure that none of those commenting not only do not know any of the family, but have never even shaken hands or said hello to any of them as well. Why is it so easy to form opinions about those we don't know and turn those opinions in to fact? Wow. Yes, we all judge in some way and yes, we all have our opinions. That does NOT make them fact. We can guess at what's going on but unless we spend some time with that person and they share what's happening with us, that's all we can do, guess.

Our opinion is not everyone's fact!
