Open-mindedness = Love, Courage, Death

[Tim R]

I just realized that open-mindedness is a form of Love. Furthermore, it's a form of courage and trust.

Open-mindedness is willingness to die. Because to have an open mind means to face and accept the possibility of the death of ones previous identity and/or belief system. It's a form of trusting yourself to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. 

Holy sh*t, I didn't think this would go that deep. So far I thought open-mindedness was just a...useful trait, I guess? But damn. 

Now I finally understand why @Leo Gura said that his open-mindedness killed him...
