537 - Why should we be open to changing our beliefs based on new evidence?
Being open to changing our beliefs is important because it helps us learn and grow. New evidence can show us that our current ideas might not be entirely correct. By considering this new information, we can:
- Correct mistakes: If we find out our current idea is wrong, we can change it to the right one.
- Learn new things: We can discover new ideas and get a better understanding of the world.
- Make better decisions: With accurate and up-to-date information, we can make smarter choices.
Think of it like having a puzzle. You might think you've solved it, but if someone shows you a new piece, you can use it to make the puzzle even better. Being open to change helps you create a more complete and accurate picture of the world.
