@SW-User true, but changing isn't necessary. Being willing to listen and discuss and learn from said discussion, that's the important thing.

@Serenitree Isn't that change?

@SW-User you would only change if you found anything that was relatable to you. In my opinion, without change, there is no growth. Without change the wheel would never have been invented, and without the wheel, nothing else would ever have progressed.
Learning from a discussion, doesn't necessarily mean you would change. You might learn that you were right all along, but now you know something else. You know that you aren't just stuck in your own little ignorant rut. You're willing to hear other ideas. If that's a change for someone, and they don't welcome that change, they are stubborn. We never have to listen to anything that we find offensive, and we never have to embrace any new ideas that we hear, but refusing to at least acknowledge that the idea is out there, is just plain foolish.
If not for change, you and I wouldn't be having this chat right now.
