Are you really open minded, or do you just like to think you are? Most people believe they are open until they meet an idea that challenges something they really care about. That is when things get uncomfortable. It is much easier to stay open when the stakes are low, but it is so much harder when the idea in front of you threatens a belief you have held for years.
