Change happens to our thinking. We evolve, develop, and mature throughout our lives. The mind takes in information: facts, spins, and untruths, then decides what to keep or throw away. We may reinforce our opinions or rethink, question, and modify. Many people seem more comfortable keeping their present opinions and don't want to change their minds.
Change happens in the world. New discoveries in science, psychology, and many other fields update our knowledge. Technology spreads this knowledge at an ever increasing pace. It also spreads info that is biased and untrue. Our ability to analyze this info with an open mind is an asset.
A famous Greek philosopher once said that change is the only constant in life. Some opinions will be held for a lifetime because that is our truth; however, we should welcome changes that lead to the improvement of our thinking.
