At some point in time in my life,i had decided am gonna lead my life with an open mind(If only i knew what i was getting into).Since then its has been a constant effort of understanding what perceptions are all about.Damn if i have reached any definite understanding of it at all.Everytime i come close to closing the chapter on a certain belief,i come across someone or something that challenges it again and am forced to yet again treck through it all.This doesn go to say that i dont have my own opinion abt the topic at hand,its just that a different point of view pushes me into this never ending thought process.I wud discard the inputs that don make sense to me but the ones that do(not nesseccarily agreed on by me),am unable to ignore.Nothing seems wrong any more.For me its just one person's way of dealing with things as they see fit.For e.g, I believe in a certain way of living life.Relationships are important to me,investment of myself in ppl who are close to me is important to me.Yet i come across this person who is a very strong believer of individualism.If this person's life is anything to go by,the belief is actually implemented and very well at that.Now inspite of my own idea of the way i live my life,this person's idea seems justified and believable.Its seemed viable too ,surprisingly.One too many episodes like these come to mind,only i wudn wanna bore the shit outta u guys.The point is i have,to an extent learned how to keep an open mind abt things i see all around me.Now i keep my fingers crossed,hoping this would bring about a balance in the llife i am to live. :)

Would you know it .... I still am evolving and my perceptions are still changing. Once you stop accepting new ideas and being malleable .... you grow old

A good one. Well worded! :-)

I do agree with keeping your mind open to the people around you. It simplifies matters for you as well as others. You start accepting people for what they are. And the gist of your articles speaks about the same.
