What of opinions people have that they don't necessarily wish they had? For example, it's my opinion that all wine tastes like shitty vinegar. I don't want to have that opinion, I'd actually like to be able to enjoy some wine, but unfortunately, I have no choice but to think it's about as appetizing as a stiff glass of apple cider vinegar that's been soaking in my sneakers for a week.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Did you choose to not care for white wine, or does that opinion stem from some innate feeling within you?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
