How rigid are you in your convictions?

Are you positive that what you believe is correct? Or are you keeping an eye out for different possibilities?

I take pride in listening to all sides of the issues. I never assume I am correct, because so often in my life I have been wrong. However, I do have my little favorites among my theories about things, and they are like beloved pets...very hard to let go of them. I also sometimes develop a deep irritation, sometimes bordering on hatred, for really irritating opinion pundits and politicians who are abrasive and offensive. I sit here listening to the news and swear at them as though they can hear me! LOL!! But that is more being grumpy than being rigid.

@4meAndyou No, I totally get it. So many people are blinded by ideology and they perpetuate that blindness by acting as a source of information. It’s frustrating that the biggest narratives in this country are presented with such a one-sided approach. It just serves to divide more than anything

But it’s nice to form your own ideas on things. You don’t want to be so open-minded that you don’t know anything
