Reflection: Different Experiences

It’s good to hang out with friends and enjoy their companionship. Their viewpoints are often different from ours and hold the potential of helping us change our point of view. When we’re open to different points of view we create an environment for learning to take place. Openness goes beyond listening to different points of view. We might try listening to different genres of music, going to a culturally different restaurant, and watching different types of movies than we generally watch. The more open we become to different viewpoints and experiences, the more we become woven into the rich fabric of life.
