Philosophy : Opinion
No, i do not think we should not criticise people or the opinions they have. This is because we are not perfect ourselves, and our opinions are not necessarily better than that of the other party. If we are not perfect in terms of looks, personality, thoughts, how can we have the right to criticise other people? If we are not perfect ourselves, how can you correct others when you do not even know what is really correct? The same goes with opinion. Opinion is just a matter of perspective, and so if you do not know if your opinion is better, you cannot say other people's opinion is worse than yours. For example, the Allies thought that Hitler was bad, evil, and mad. However, the people of Germany thought that Hitler was a saint, and that Germany conquering the world is best. Here, the opinions of both sides are influenced by external sources. The population of Germany wants world conquest as it will be better for them and they will be richer, but the population of the Allied countries disagreed with them as Germany conquering the world will just make their lives miserable, which they do not desire. The opinions of countries and people only stand for their own interests and wants. Thus, opinion can never be accurate, and you can not criticise others' or their opinions.
