One’s Opinion
I believe the nature of logic is a very delicate subject. A person’s logic may very well be different from another person’s thinking. Therefore, one person’s opinion may hurt another individual’s feelings if the judgment is taken incorrectly. This is where critical thinking comes to play. What most people should do is think before they speak. An individual should practice using critical thinking skills.

Scott and the other employees acknowledged me and I waved back. As Scott’s lunch hour came to an end he walked through the front office doors with a puzzled look on his face. He then opened his office and turned around. He then said he had seen me coming back from lunch and noticed the car I was driving. Scott followed by stating he would have never pictured me in that kind of car; that car just does not fit your personality. Scott then said that he pictured me in a more luxury car. From Scott’s statement I felt as if I was being picked on for being less fortanute than he. I took the comment as inappropriate especially since he had a weird look on his face. I felt as he did not feel my car was worthy of having since it was
