to feel
Apparently, I'm not being open minded by refusing to entertain a reality that doesn't exist logically.
Some things can be proven; thus they are objective. Others are based on subjective observations. The latter cannot be proven (by what? giving me a testimony?) But that requires my reasoning to discern the testimony as true or false. And then I'm called close-minded because I decided that the testimony was false! What kind of ballast is behind that testimony? Nothing, save to believe and to feel that it is true/right. Such axioms do exist, but there's a logical reason why they should be accepted, and whatever it is, transcends conventions and cultures. But think twice before telling me that I should feel. I'm a very apathetic person, so feeling is a quite absurd way to get me to understand. Is that being close-minded? I would call it being emotionally closed.
We're both on the path to seek the same thing, though each starting from an opposite end. I know that both can't be correct, even though both of us want to be right. But if both of us are right, it's a contradiction.
look at me, it ususally takes an effort to log into my LJ account to read the friends' posts, since I use a client. look at me post friends. it's part of a filter system
