You have come to your opinions through your own life experiences, and you have every right to stand firmly behind them. However, you also have to realize that other people have come to their conclusions through their own legitimate ways. You can’t disqualify an opinion just because it doesn’t match yours. Don’t be too dogmatic in your beliefs. If you close your mind, you’ll inevitably shut out some people who could enrich your life in ways you don’t yet understand.
