For one thing, I wouldn't have a cow about it.
[for student's of English, giving birth to "cow" would be a very stressful experience for a human being.
Thus, referring to Having---A--Cow indicates, as an idiomatic expression, the idea that
we become stressed out or extremely upset about something common or ordinary in human experience.
The TV cartoon character, Bart Simpson, is depicted as saying; "Don't have a Cow, man!"]
People are entitled to their thoughts. Besides, some criticisms of our persons is a beneficial opportunity for us to examine ourselves. Sometimes, criticism from others is simply negative behavior.
We can regard gossip as the endless clucking and squawking of Chickens.
At the same, we can recognize that one of the endless problems with mankind, is the negative habit of launching ACCUSATIONS against other people. This creates massive problems.
For example, in English speaking countries, there are occasions when people begin speaking with the following phrase:
"You know what your problem is? Your problem is _________________?_________."
It may be reasonably concluded, we all have a "problem".
It is unfortunate, that some people suppose that being "honest" is fault-finding with others.
I think that we operate with much wisdom, when our honest communications with others is an
acknowledgement of the basic Good that can be found within others.

I hold my own and argue. :) Whatever people say, it's just an opinion, not objective knowledge. The one is winning, who can substantiate his claims.
Let them.
I am interested in different opinions and thoughts. I realize that other people sometimes are right and I'm wrong. I always want to make sure that I have all the relevant information and true facts before I form an opinion about an issue or make any judgements against somebody.
It depends on the situation. If we talk about your own case, only your situation, which is relevant to you. In each of them, I just take note. Any way, everyone have to make his own decision. But it has a different meaning if we are dealing with a different situation, when you need to find a general solution with your friend or your close. I usually face this problem when I travel with my close friend. Her opinion is always important to me. In any situation we together try to find a compromise.
