I find myself associating less and less with people who are too extreme. Too insistent that they know what's "right." I prefer conversations with those I disagree with who have an open mind to those who agree with me but cannot see the other side. My sister and I were just talking about his yesterday. She is very liberal politically and loves to "debate" with conservatives, yet she gets frustrated with those who share her liberal views but refuse to acknowledge the value of differing opinions.
Me too. In fact I crave it. Does that mean I'm addicted to knowledge? LOL

Very interesting...practicing humility helps me be that open-minded person. When I think I have all the answers...my mind is closed.
