The Winds of Change: Should we Compromise on our Thinking?

Well, last night I slept a confused person but today when I woke up today certain things really clicked me and made some real sense. It seems as if my mind needed a reboot after last day's hectic schedule. :P

Coming to the point, my last blog post was regarding the importance of discussing things with our peers. I was really firm on the point that no matter what happens, one should never change his or her thinking. Although this point of mine still stands, I have found another dimension to it. Yesterday, I was discussing this very point with a friend of mine and I realized that no matter what we do, our thinking can never be perfect you know and yeah personalities can never be same. So, this means your views might be wrong in certain point in life and there is no harm in changing them for good.

Some people may argue on the lines that no one should never change his or her views because its called compromise and you know how it sucks. For all those people out there, compromising and changing one's thinking for good are completely different things. When a person compromises, then it means he retracted from his views because of external pressures or whatever they may be. This implies that although a person believes in a certain idea but he still ends up changing his thinking, maybe because his views are not acceptable or something like that. If this is so, I will be the person who will oppose such a change!

Now what does “changing your thinking for good” means?

It means that if someone convinces you on a certain point and you believe from the bottom of your heart that yeah you were really wrong about it, then there is no harm in changing your thinking. Such a change will only lead to the betterment of one's personality, nothing else!

Therefore, if you possess some sort of egoistic type of personality, its high time you start to respect the opinions of others and adopt them if they have some reality to go with. If you do not, then you will end up with a personality which is not just arrogant but also a personality which has some serious flaws in it. And everyone knows arrogance + flawed thinking is something which nobody wants to deal with!
