It is amusing when someone shares everything they wish to say and then accuses us of "shoving our views down their throat" when we share ours.
The one who accuses is the one who is pushing, they are pushing to be heard and care nothing about hearing others.
We know we have encountered a foolish person when their opinion is the only one allowed. This is a person who cannot learn because they never listen.
Proverbs 12:15 "15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel. 16 A fool’s anger is known at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult."
It is a very insecure person who becomes easily angered merely because someone does not agree with them.
Proverbs 16:2
"All a man's ways are pure in his own eyes, but his motives are weighed out by the LORD."
Proverbs 3:7
"Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil."
Proverbs 14:16
"A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident."
When we are confident in the Lord we have no reason to be offended at an insult or disagreement. We know where our confidence comes from and it is not in ourselves but in Jesus Christ Who lives in us.
