"Closed Minds" one of the greatest detriments to mankind

Closed Minds.jpg


Closed minds are like shuttered windows, all covered with the
Dead and Dying vegetation of
"Dogmatic Ideas and Beliefs".
Stagnation of
Thought
Leads to this Paralysis;
The Inability to accept the possibility that you

JUST

MIGHT

BE

😠WRONG!😠

~
To entertain the notion that
Someone ELSE Might have a better answer for something .

It is a sad thing.
I have had family members go through divorce
Because one partner had continued to grow,
While the other was stuck:
They were the same person as when they got married.
You know what I mean too.
Of course you are still the same
Now as you were 20 yrs ago, but you
[hopefully] have
GROWN since then, so in many ways you are NOT
The same person as you were then.
Let the light Of Doubt
Come into your thoughts:
NEVER
Be so ConVINCED of your own
Infallibility that you
Can’t allow a new thought, a different
Path be considered, or at least
Thought About!
This is how a FANATIC is born.

Meritocracy, that is what i try to use at work when we need to solve a problem

Hmmm... I will have to think about that, look it up and decide if it applies to my post ha ha ha...
Thanks for your comment @clouda 😎

It relates because it harder to make a decision if you have a closed mind. Or i just read your post wrong hahaha

I think I can dig that:
mer·i·toc·ra·cy
ˌmerəˈtäkrəsē/Submit
noun
government or the holding of power by people selected on the basis of their ability.
a society governed by meritocracy.
plural noun: meritocracies
a ruling or influential class of educated or skilled people.
Thanks @clouda

It is very difficult to make a decision if we have a closed mind...


Many people make decisions with closed minds all the time; it must therefore be very easy.
What is difficult, methinks, is to make a right INFORMED decision if you are unwilling
To see all sides and accept that one of them may be the right one, rather than
Your personal stand on an issue.
But that's just me.

Such powerful post! Thanks @jerrytsuseer for sharing this thought provoking piece so beautifully crafted.

Thank you Ada, @adawrytes, the original format from FB was blocky and more or less
In a 'left justified right triangle"... that is one of the reasons I like
Steemit and the "Markdown Style" it allows us to us.
What I do NOT understand is why they- the
Creators of this format, don't allow
Some of the most important
(to me) commands, such
As < u>underline< /u >
or the footnote
Commands

Your kindness is always our memory

Hello jerry you always give the best for us. thank you
