that's not quite right...

I would modify that to say "*in the END*, only your ears count." That is to say, your subjective experience and your enjoyment are what ultimately matter.

HOWEVER, there is much to gain from other people's experiences and opinions. No one person can experience all there is to offer -- the world would be a much poorer place if everybody went their own way and did not share or learn from each other.

The key is to be able to accept contradicting statements as merely another person's perspective -- the result of that person's unique set of experiences. If you can understand that you can integrate seemingly contradictory opinions with your own knowledge and be so much the wiser.

Maybe it's because I attend UC Berkeley, but I am increasingly bothered by people who only see things their own way. Narrow-minded people who refuse to acknowledge the possible validity of others' experiences more often than not prove themselves to be bigots.
