“The mind is like a parachute – it works best when it is open. How quickly we make assumptions, jump to conclusions and close our mind. How easily we form and hold fast to our opinions and then close our mind. How fast do we make a judgement, slap on a label and then close our mind. A closed mind never knows the delight of playing with possibilities, being enlightened by others point of view or enjoying the diversity of human life. An open and understanding mind never assumes, doesn’t jump to conclusions and won’t hold fast to any opinion. Perhaps it is no wonder a closed mind is not a very relaxed mind.” ~Thought for Today-UK
