Ever had those times when you say something awkward during an important discussion and everybody writes you off. Maybe because at the time, we just blurted it out without thinking and because of that we're shut out of the discussion. What's worse is that after that mistake, people will always use that instant to clam you up whenever you give your input. Still, that doesn't mean we're always wrong and there times when we do have something important to share and it could be that what we share could be the right thing. When you know what you say or believe is right, the song "Sometimes I'm Right" by Hubert Sumlin comes to mind.
For anyone who's ever experienced this kind treatment, I wouldn't be surprised if it hurt to be treated that way. That seen and not heard label can sure be a blow to one's ego. One mistake should not define what we think about certain things. It gives you that feeling that everything that you're going to say is wrong or will be ridiculed and shelved and I for one am tired of that.
I'm saying this not because I want to grab the spotlight or anything like that. I'm just saying that people could at least give us another chance to what we have to say. We're not perfect individuals but we're not always wrong. There are times when what we believe or say can be right. All we ask is to be heard and respected.
