Too often it seems that people want to take the stand "I'm right". While it's perfectly natural to feel proud of what you know, and knowledge certainly is power, it is WISDOM that comes from learning from everyone you can.
Learning does NOT mean you have to agree with them, it means that you are having the foresight to listen, understand, and learn something from someone who has a different opinion than you.
Objectivity & sound logic far supersede the need to rush to pick a side. Humans feel the need to defend their own logic, or someone else's logic, in order to validate their own beliefs. That's natural, however, to evolve past that point is to state your beliefs, reasonably & respectfully, and then allow someone of opposing view to state their beliefs, reasonably & respectfully, and both sides learn someone from what other people out their believe!
If you are a guardian of your beliefs, meaning you are defensive & attack others who contradict your beliefs, then you are close-minded and have absolutely no hope of evolving whatsoever.
Leave the 99% of the population to their close-minded paths, and take it upon yourself to be among the 1%. Trust me, you'll be far wiser, more educated, and far more interesting than 99% of the people you meet.

Well said Magnolia, for if we have a closed mind, then we can never advance on any kind of path, hence, never really grow or learn anything!!!

Very very very true!! We are all diverse and we all have a different view of everything not matter what. What makes us unique is the ability to input our views on something and other to consider all possibilities!!

Seriously, great post Magnolia and so true!
Think you've seen it all? Think again. Outside those doors, we might see anything. We could find new worlds, terrifying monsters, impossible things. And if you come with me... nothing will ever be the same again!
