Being an open-minded individual
I've been realizing a lot lately that being open minded is a really tough thing to do. To me, it makes it seem as if there is no right or wrong answer to life, but rather doing what makes one happy is how people should lead their life. The trippy part of this type of logic is that it justifies everyone's points of view on life, anything ranging from serial killers who have been abused since childhood and see murder as artwork, to an old man sitting in a clock shop, working on making his daily earnings. Many times, open-mindedness leaves me to be set up as a clumsy, indecisive person because forming opinions and conclusions to things makes me feel as if I am closing off my creativity.
Perhaps there is difference between knowing the answer to something, and understanding the answer...many times, the pride I took in thinking that I understood an aspect of life has always been shattered because it seems as if the more you take one type of opinion to be true, the opposite of that opinion will be just as valid.
