Do you avoid things you don't understand or that offend you?

Lately I've noticed that I have a fascination with wanting to learn about topics or things that I either don't agree with or that offend me.
Whether it's through reading a book on said topic or listening to a podcast. I just want to learn why I react that way towards it and I also want to learn why I have the opinion I have.

Just wondering how many other people feel this way too.
Because, I already know a ton of people who would never do such a thing for fear of possibly being wrong.

Lack of knowledge or ignorance is often the basis of lack of understanding... We can never really experience what someone else experiences... But we can read and learn and gain acceptance... Good job on your part!

@Convivial Yes, you're right. In some situations you can never fully understand something, but the fact you at least try and also keep an open mind is huge.
Thank you!
