I’ve been writing my column for The Star newspaper for almost 20 years now. In that time, I’ve expressed my opinion in about 1,000 different articles. When I first calculated this number, I immediately thought: that’s a heck of a lot of opinions for one person to have. But when I thought about it a little longer, I realised I probably have thousands of other opinions that I haven’t shared with anyone.

Just because I have an opinion about something doesn’t mean I have to express it. Let’s face it; some opinions are probably best left unsaid.
