You’re not open-minded!
Over the past couple of years, on numerous topics, I’ve heard people use this line to try persuade beliefs.
Ghost people: “You’re not open-minded enough to see a ghost.”
Religious types: “You’re not open-minded enough to believe in God.”
An open mind to me is one that still retains fundamental truths, yet you can still acquire new information as long as it doesn’t contradict said truths.
If I must have a completely open mind to believe in something, then it can’t be true.
I did a little test for proof that I’m open minded, to a degree. :-p
You Are 64% Open Minded |
 You are a very open minded person, but you’re also well grounded.Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You’re open to considering every possibility – but in the end, you stand true to yourself. |
