A Change Of Heart!!!

Yes, I have found that reading some of the discussions here on MyLot really do make me think and consider other angles; that's what a good conversation is supposed to do. I've always been open-minded and tolerant of people's diversities as far as race, religion, skin color, sexuality, etc. and make it a point to treat people with kindness. But the discussions here have really broadened some of my thinking about politics and religion, in a good way. They challenge you to re-assess and re-evaluate, and ultimately to be more open-minded.

Yes. I'm open-minded enough to consider that I may be wrong about something. I look at things from the different angles that other people see, and sometimes change my own perception. Then other times I'll agree to disagree.

Hi! Yes, I have changed my thinking on several things in the past 10 or so years. Included in those are my religious beliefs and my political beliefs. I guess pretty much the whole core of what I believe has shifted. It's strange to now be on the same side with people I used to disagree with! We should consider ourselves fortunate that it's never too late to change our minds or rethink our beliefs. Good topic! :-)

Thank you for such a reply to my comment. I think that I tend to over write when posting for a discussion. Somehow, I feel more like myself when I write. In class, I feel like the weight of my past is carried with me, and every where I go. When I write, the weight comes off and I am free once more. Thanks again, Katina;)

I am always open to someones opinion about things...I like to see it from all angles. While I am not easily persuaded to completely change my thinking I have "softened" a bit when someone can pose a good arguement. I have though changed alot of my views in the last few years tremendously. Having 3 little babies makes you view the world differntly and things that seemed so important before are less now. I think as we age and collect life experiance that its only natural to shift our way of thinking. If we didint grow and mature in our thoughts, I think the world would be in a whole mess of trouble. I have met many close minded people, and I have to wonder if they are happy with themselves? Most seem to be pretty miserable people...thats just my opinion though! Good Question!
