Originally posted by divegeesterYes, my view of the world has quite a huge allowance for error. Also , it has the capacity for introducing new ideas and even complete upheaval, if necessary.
You say you are open; are these statements you have made representative of someone who is open?
But the longer I go on (over ten years now), the more the "guides" in my life seem to reaffirm that I'm on the right path. It seems that now I have the original edifice in place, I just need to fine tune some ideas and incorporate new ones with the already established ones.
It would take me a lot of words to explain my tenets of my philosophy of life as I reckon we would have many linguistical difficulties. All that being said, I dont see where you are coming from. I dont see how I am not open.
I guess one could ask "open to what? " , as I am certainly not open to changing my stance on say the death penalty (strongly disagree), or being open to deal with some problem I have through violent means.
But as far as philosophy/spirituality/religion are concerned, I can say that I will genuinely sit and listen to what someone has to say about their views on this stuff, and if the arguments are compelling enough, even to change my view about a certain matter.
