I have come to understand that to the open-minded, everyday is an opportunity to learn something new. To the close-minded however, the lessons of life have already been learnt - there is really nothing new under the heavens.
Those who have experienced and survived the vicissitude of certain life-defining circumstances, received and enjoyed certain rare and unmerited privileges and most importantly encountered and genuinely submitted to God, behave differently; they are unassuming, selfless and considerate.
On the other hand, those worldviews are self-constructed, who stand on the walls of nothingness, wear the garbs of emptiness and interact extensively with shallowness are typically arrogant, self-conceited and judgmental. They hastily generalize on things, situations and people they know very little about. In almost all cases, they end up being wrong. Sad enough, they really do not care as they consider themselves right in their mind; always.
As its commonly said that 'looking is not the same as seeing', exposure helps with seeing, and seeing the core of issues before coming to conclusions about them.
I choose to be exposed so I can compose myself rightly. I choose to be open-minded so I can learn the unlearnt lessons needed for my greatness. I choose to maintain my continuous enrollment in the school of life, a school without graduation.
