Opinions

As some one said it right, " anything in excess spoils the taste". Things happening around are making me feel suddenly "why am I even bothered?". It makes me think like that for a while and then it makes me feel guilty. I really don't understand why am I am getting this feeling? I think its just a phase or some times it feels like ego!
The feeling I got was when plan for the trip was one. It was a good time and all was well at the lunch. Suddenly the plan for a trip formed and it dragged and dragged with 8- 10 opinions coming in. The search started and dates were finalized and mails were exchanged. Then from somewhere one more opinion. We are peace loving humans and believe in accommodating everything and everybody. It was dinner time and still the opinions were wrestling and voices all over.
It felt like it was excess of opinion syrup. Felt like crisis instead of fun. Richard Branson says " when something isn't fun one should stop doing it" but is it the right thing to do at this point?
Feels like you are going to break loose, like one is being pushed to the edge of a building which is some 100 story high! The layer of patience looks growing thin. Some part in you says "Don't loose your cool! Well all of them are giving their opinions" Some other part says" they are just cribbing and how can we take the word from them when no body has done it themselves". This is definitely not fun. In all this we are loosing our main item of discussion having fun on the trip!
Suddenly one strange thougth from somewhere... "why am i taking all this seriously?" nothing is going to end if this wont happen. Yes we will feel bad for awhile but when one did his part and it is not working out then should leave it at that, also it is not necessary that all must go together or no one goes. It felt like the initial 5 secs of a free fall. complete silence. like you are the only one in this universe.
Opinions are there to be made and listened to, but when they take over your actual aim then they are not worth it and after all this I am sure about this.
