How could somebody be described as something when....?

Question

how could you say someone is mean, when that is your opinion

or say that person is pretty, when its just ur opinion

how do we know when something is actually true, and not just an opinion?

Answer 1

It's always subjective. When we state our opinion as a fact we really mean it's a fact for us, we think that, it's our opinion.

Answer 2

well pretty is always an oppinion, mean can be a fact, if a person intentionally hurts others and does cruel things for the fun of it they are mean it is no longer an opinion it is a provable fact. but pretty is always a matter of taste and opinion

Answer 3

If most people agree with your perception of the person that makes it true.  Sure there will always be someone that wont agree but if the vast majority of others do than it becomes true
