Our two-party political system is a great example of opposition in all things. A GOP candidate will do well politically to disagree with the current president on almost any issue. But the truth is that both sides have good points and are often times both "right."
Marriage sometimes highlights the opposing views of spouses in the most unanticipated ways. While at the baptism today after church, the Aimers and I started talking about the strawberries we had just bought at Costco. To Amy, we needed to make those $9 stretch as long as possible and not eat them all at once. She was after all talking to an Ostler so her bringing up this topic did have merit.
I had a different view, being more concerned about the strawberries going bad. We had, after all, bought a huge case of strawberries and to me the worst thing in the world would be to see those big, red, sweet-smelling beauties go in the garbage because they were rotten.
What I'm trying to get at is that in this case, we were both right. Yes we should eat our goods in moderation and yes it would be a real tragedy if any of them had to go to waste. But when you're in the conversation, it's opposition in all strawberries.
