If a person is open minded it allows the free flow of information.George, please, take a moment to reflect. I'm certainly not here to judge you and I don't believe I am doing so. Further, I'm not seeking 'thrills', and where that comes from is a mystery to me. Perhaps it comes from the 'degenerative thinking' that you allude to.
Another thing is that I have never demanded 'proof' of what you say, only credible evidence. If what you say is true, I want to see it. I am open-minded, and your charge that I am not is only untrue, but also slightly offensive. From what I gather from the quoted post, you seem to think that 'open-mindedness' on our part means that we accept that whatever you say as the God's truth and if we want for claims to backed up with credible evidence, our minds are closed. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way.
Would you please explain what you mean by this?
It means that the mind is open with no preconceived ideas that need to be replenished.
This si not the case here.
People on this forum are closed minded (my belief) because they have not allowed their minds to flow freely .
I am closed minded in terms that I seek no change but I have been told that others are awaiting to be convinced.
This is not being OPEN MINDED. It is saying"Please take this junk out of my head which is locked away by planting something new"
Their mind therefore is already closed awaiting to be re-opened.
The problem here, is that the amount of junk stored in their minds has to be removed before new info can be allowed in.
I never had this problem because I was young and developed my mind accordingly.
People do not want change as they see this as a threat to their life and they get angry.
There is never any intention to empty their mind as I could not care less.
What I do care about is why should I get the blame for it?
Yer.....the difference between them and myself is that I am not awaiting my brain to change. I like it this way as indeed I may be closed minded as well but it is not me wanting this change.
If a person was truly open minded they would accept unless shown otherwise . I do have the ability to see reason but it has to be good enough.
This you may say applies the other way but the problem here is that I have achieved my goal and you have not.
I am satisfied with my knowledge but YOU are not. Instead you want others to be responsible for your failure to digest this info.
This is not going to happen unless you are open minded which you are not. You are merely thrill seeking to have your brain charged up and when the effect wears off, disappointment looms.
Your stored negativity (as I see it) is then regenerating itself because your thrill had gone!
You become disharmonised and take your frustration out on me.
This is not my fault but I had let you down as the effect is the same.
