Correct me if Im wrong here… but doesn’t ‘open-mindedness’ mean being open to other people’s opinions??
That’s what I would consider the meaning of the term to be. Opinions are just that – opinions, neither right nor wrong – they are feelings more or less, so how can they be ‘wrong’?
Its starting to feel like claiming “open mindedness” is an excuse to take a stand and voice one’s own opinion in hopes of recognition and appreciation, but then strangely take offense when someone voices their own in retaliation.
I think discussing opinons is bittersweet, and it is a rarity to find someone who truly respects you. A rarity, if not an impossibility, at least in terms of sincerity.
Is it me, or have my last couple of blogs come across negatively? lol.
