Minds are like parachutes. They won’t work unless they are open.
~ Anonymous ~
Unless we maintain open minds, e cannot hope to make attitude changes for the better. Open-mindedness will prevent selfishness and reduce the possibility of painful resentments by not allowing intolerance and prejudice.
It is fortunate that we are individuals with personal opinions and that we can express different views without causing problems. We can disagree without being disagreeable. Besides, variety in viewpoints keeps recovery from being dull or boring.
In our Program, open minds remind us that common welfare comes before personal wishes.
When I lock the doors of my mind, I am keeping more of value out of my heart than can ever be harboured in a tightly closed mind.
