chapter 2 part 2

Opinion and thoughts have almost the same meaning, namely the contents of someone's thoughts about something, whether abstract or tangible objects. Both are unique because each person can have different contents even though the aim is for the same object. There are practically no special provisions for conveying it. However, strong opinions and thoughts generally have solid reasons to support them. That way, the opinion you convey can be considered more credible.
