That last question is so terribly important that i cannot emphasize it enough. i am afraid that as human beings, we quickly become very set in our ways. we find what we look for and we soon learn to look for things that validate what we already think we know. we begin to fear, dislike, and avoid information that challenges our pre set ideas, rather than examine and consider that information carefully. sadly, if we do learn to examine new information, we are not highly likely to apply those skills to information with which we tend to agree, instead welcoming it as an old friend without a second thought.

stop right now to respond to what i have stated. have you found evidence in your own life that would support or refute my statement? explain.
