Of course when "not" precedes my cup of tea with a negative connotation, not my cup of tea seems a gentler way of expressing one's preference without the use of harsh or critical words.
MY CUPPA TEA---synonyms = affinity, choice/taste, druthers, orientation or preference,
Even if something might not be your cup of tea, as a personal opinion , one can strive for unity over any differences which are not areas of biblical perspicuity. Political parties. Pandemic protocol. Vaxx. Those are all negotiable.
- A gentle word turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs. 15:1)
- Gentle words bring life and health.(not volume of one's voice or snide comments, DAL). perverseness breaks the spirit. (Proverbs. 15:4)
- Gracious (kind) words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones. (Proverbs. 16:24, NIV)
Get together for a cuppa tea and discuss your differing cups of tea....or just agree to disagree in love.
