A narrow mind blinds you to life's beauty, Makes you see your world in black and white, With fixed opinions on what is wrong and what is right.
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from This Is My Life, chapter 11
In other words
A narrow mind turns a colourful world into two fixed sides. Once every belief and way of living must be right or wrong, little room remains to understand why another person sees things differently. The loss is larger than disagreement. Life’s beauty comes partly from its many views, cultures, choices, and kinds of people. A closed mind cannot fully meet that wider world because it keeps reducing what it sees to the few answers it already accepts.
Opening the mind does not require giving up every belief. It means allowing reality to be larger than one person’s view of it. Difference can then become something to learn from rather than something that must be made wrong.
