Too open minded?

Re: Too open minded?!

Open-mindedness is a good thing, but be careful with it. Just don't be so open-minded that you believe everything that you are told. Listen to new ideas, and consider them, but do your own research before believing.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Being open minded leads to new knowledge, but don't take what others say as truth. Figure it out yourself.

Sadly, this is really a lost art in today's society. I think that too many people don't really think for themselves anymore. They are too quick to automatically trust that anything they hear and see in the media and in the government is true. Just look at the typical Western attitude towards Islam, for example.
