Something To Think About

Just saw this...

// We learn more from those with different points of view.
We learn little from those who think the same as us. //

Interesting...Where did you see it, pasta?
Should be shown to the headmaster of Eton.

LOL.. lol..I wonder if the Mods on AB would agree.

[pastafreak]

Lol sqad.
Clover, I saw it on another site. Don't know if it was original to the poster. I just thought it's a useful thing to keep in mind.

Other viewpoints should always be considered.

[emmie]

you rarely agree with people theland on matters of religion...or am i wrong in that

[Theland]

I always consider the other viewpoint, and when the facts change, I change.

[emmie]

i have yet to see you change your mind on the thing is closest to you which is your faith.

[Mamyalynne]

It's healthy to listen to other points of view, sometimes we can develop tunnel vision and it does us no harm to consider a different way.

[ichkeria]

I listen to other points of view and from that I learn how much more I know than anyone else :-)

(Joke)

[ToraToraTora]

what a load of rubbish :)

[emmie]

TTT succinct at least

[Vagus]

I agree with mamy. It’s not about agreeing or changing your mind, it’s about others opinions making you think that others also have a relevant point of view.

[pastafreak]

TTT...well, that's one point of view.

[ToraToraTora]

woooosh! it's a pun ladies!

[emmie]

and gentlemen, must have bypassed me i must say

[emmie]

but so much does before anyone says anything

[gness]

Interesting, Pasta. Often it's how the different point of view is offered and sometimes your held opinion of the other person overrides what they are saying.

Not sure about the second line. I can have an opinion but listening to someone who shares it but is more knowledgable can be educational.....x

If all we learn is to see through their eyes
We can make our own minds up about what we see

// We learn more from those with different points of view. //

So true.... I've learnt from a Vegan they are mostly uneducated in animal husbandry, and Fox Hunters are mostly outdated morons who likes killing for sport.

//We learn little from those who think the same as us. //

No we don't, we learn a lot from people who think the same as we do on certain subjects and we can share knowledge.

Another gem of wisdom no doubt from the FB book of philosophy.
