The Open Mind
|
I saw a sign the other day that read: The mind is like an umbrella..it works best when it is open.
This saying has stuck in my head and given me a lot to think about. It seems to me that there has been a negative connotation associated with being closed minded on certain subjects. I personally feel that we can often be so open-minded that our brains are in danger of falling out! I remember a time when "standing up for what you believe" was considered a good thing, a noble quality. Today it is associated with intolerance, pig-headedness and of having a narrow-mind. I still say there is nothing wrong with knowing what and why you believe something and sticking to those beliefs regardless of what others might think. I know it is my intention to raise my children to stand behind what they know to be right even when it isn't popular. I guess there is something to be said for a broken umbrella after all. |
