Hey there,
Honestly, I am just going to talk about what I personally think about having an open mind and the possible benefit of it. Some people are just pure snobs they don't talk to just anyone (not that you should but wait) not only do they don't chose to talk to people they don't even try to get to know them in a different light. I think it's not fair because some people can be different from what your first impression of them was.
I met someone not too long ago and we talked but honestly it was for one day. The girl was nice at first and I have nothing against her but we just don't click... I will be there if she needs me but honestly I don't know. Some people talk as if they are better than everyone talking about how clean they are, how ghetto other people are... Yeah there are some ghetto people but honestly is it even worth it to mention it as if it is something you can just bring up in a conversation that has nothing related to that. Having an open mind allow you to have a variety of friends and it can help you to understand other people better. Some people are not always who they seemed to be, take your time to get to know them.
I feel like when you have an open mind you have more fun and you can try a lot of cool stuff instead of being so closed minded which is totally boring... I like open minded people because they can understand me better....I have a way of thinking sometimes that closed minded people won't understand (no offense) open minded people know what I am talking about.
