"You can judge your age by the amount of pain you feel when you come in contact with a new idea." Pearl S Buck
I love that the older I get, the less I know. I hope I always have joy in discovery.
I like these responses. I wonder if we as a subset, agnostics/atheists are more open minded? Because on the whole,in my experience, people tend to like what is familiar and what they grew up with. My generation tends to have more issues with sexuality and gender identity issues whereas teens are wide open to it. Just like people get jaded in life or at work but new young folks come in with new visions and see the possibilities instead of the limitations. I think I am open mindrd and I work hard not to be jaded but im not sure that is true for most.
I understand it, but I don't feel that way at all. I love new ideas!
Count me as one of those who has grown more open-minded as I've aged.
I think this used to be the case, but I think it's less and less becoming the case.
