It does indeed make sense. In order to adopt the mindset of one who is open minded, you need to open your mind and accept concepts foreign to your own pre-existing thoughts. That is, not simply twidle your thumbs and wait for the person to finish talking/writing, all the while thinking up your comeback... but rather to take on the other persons ideas for a moment as if it were truth. If it happens to still be disagreeable to you after you have tried, then by all means, throw it by the way side... but if you have truly momentarily accepted it as truth, you would not be so quick to judge those who continue to hold it.


Hopefully that helps you make sense of it. If not, never fear... time can cure alot of confusion

"...and this and that." as in "we talked about where they went on vaccation and this and that." STOP it! don't TEASE me, if it's important to tell me what you talked about, then tell me what you talked about!.

and if you can't remember the rest of the details, STOP TALKING.

How about when new people go through "orientation". They relate the details as to how they are being "orientated". Orientated... umm no.

it's not "orientated", it's "orientatered"
