I Am Open Minded And Non Judgemental [I Am Open Minded and Talk About Anything]

I think the key point of this group is it is easy to be open minded. I am. Just like a lot of people. But it is hard Not to be judgmental. At least in your own mind. Everyone is going to make assumptions or ideas when they hear, see or experience something that is outside the norm. It is human nature to process it. That is what makes us inquisitive. So there is always some form of judgement. The key is to try and understand and do be harsh. Listen and process. If it isn't something that rings a bell with you then politely say "No thank you, but I am certainly glad it makes you happy" and move on. Who knows you may learn a few things and decide you may just like it as well.

I completely agree with you. The way the brain works internally is almost dependent upon judgement and there's no way of turning that off, that I know of.

However, we can be open-minded enough to ignore our first judgement and gather more evidence or the opinions of people who judge things differently. We're all human, after all, and we all have impulses in common, even if some people find them odd.
