When people say to stop and smell the roses in life, they mean that life's not all about hard facts. It's interesting to read opinions. Fiction is an opinion. Poems are opinions. Art is an opinion. If we were to all assume that opinions were worthless unless we knew their source to be of a certain pedigree, we would be restricting our world view considerably. We'd probably end up not enjoying things as much as we ought to. I urge everyone to simply enjoy life and not worry about whether person A's opinions matter "more" than person B's, because A has XYZ and B doesn't. If I have a billion dollars, does that make my opinions more correct than yours? Of course not, they're opinions, not facts.
