It matters.

A single word from a person who means something to you, can ruin your day. It takes a lot more, for anyone to make that day a good one again. We may not realize the power other people hold over us. But in reality, what others say to you, how they act around you, makes the very foundation of how you feel and what you'll do. It decides if you'll have a good day, or a bad day.

It decides how we actually live each day. Now we may think that we control our own lives. That we make our own decisions and that those decisions are not affected by anyone else, because we are free individuals. But in fact, other people, can affect how we think, what we do, and what we want to do. Simply by what they say, or what they do. The fact is that whatever we may think.

Other peoples opinions matter, as long as they speak it. We might not consciously realize it, but it all has an impact on us. Other people affect us, whether we want them to or not. They might not even consciously want to affect how we are, but still they do. What people think, matters. We might deny it, but it still does. Because they all have the power to affect us. In one way or another.
