Opinion is a flitting thing,
But truth outlasts the Sun--
If we cannot own them both--
Posess the oldest one.
This poem means to me that opinions will always be changing as you grow older and as you learn more and that the truth will never change. An opinion what one person feels strongly about or believes in. The truth is giving an honest answer. This poems also means to me that if it came down to choosing one I would chose the truth because it overrules an opinion and that someone may not always agree with ones opinion.
It should be applied to our society because if everyone knew the truth about one another then we wouldn't bash each other! Also if somebody told somebody else their opinion about you they may only think of you by that meanwhile that's not the only thing your capable of doing. If we knew the truth then a lot of things would be different, but it's going to take a while to know the truth!
