I do condsider other peoples' perspectives on matters; however, if after some time, I find that person has nothing of value to offer me, or I can see no truth in what they say (or they are just spouting forth their own version of events, without reponse to my own points) ... then I soon lose interest in considering their perspective. Some people, I also find to be quite limited and fixed in their thinking, can you tell me what value there is in debating with such people?
Are you saying this is wrong of me, or self-centred? .. if so, then self-centred I am, and long may I remain so.
An able-sighted man and a blind man, converse about the colours to be found in a rainbow, but the blind man swears blind, that there's no such thing as 'colour' or things that can be seen, and shows no sign of budging on the matter. For how long should the able-sighted man try to open the eyes of the blind man?
