To have an open mind doesn’t mean you believe everything that is thrown at you nor does this mean that you are dismissive of all that is said to you. To me, having an open mind is to be able to see outside of what you normally wouldn’t think of. In the past few months, my mind has been opened up to different points of view than what I have previously been exposed to. Am I better off? Of course, any time you can educate yourself or have life educate you, you’re always a better person for it.
I may have said this before, but I look forward to getting older. I look forward to being able to learn as much as I can about the subjects that already fascinate me and the subjects that I have yet to even hear about. I look forward to being able to understand people’s patterns of how they act or how they move and being able to deduct what’s going to happen next based on what I have noticed so far. Learning people, their trains of thought and behaviors will be something that I or anyone else will never have enough time to fully understand. As the information age matures, we learn (or I learn) that there will never be enough time to understand or learn all that there is out there for a person to study.
The things I value now are much different than the things I valued ten years ago. The value of a conversation with a person with the same mind set is much more valuable than a pretty face. The value of a friend when you’re down is more valuable than a friend when you’re pleased. The value of a good night’s sleep is more valuable than a meal sometimes. Knowing history is more valuable than knowing current events. Knowing where you’ve been is important, especially if you don’t know where you’re headed.
Knowledge comes to those who learn from their mistakes and to those who want to learn. Wisdom is being able to put the knowledge to good use.
