what is 'it' in this sentence - Does the 'it' refer to your thoughts and opinions ? are you saying that you dont take ownership of your ideas , and so opinions of closed minded people dont bother you ? or are you referring to the position that closed minded people take, and saying that you dont take ownership of the positions held by the closed minded ? Please clarify . thanks.
it = "their position"

As Buddha said, "If someone offers you a gift, and you decline to accept it, to whom does the gift belong?"
