That's a good point. When open-mindedness stands in the way of forming an opinion of your own, there is something seriously wrong, isn't it?
Or isn't it possible that you're just not open-minded enough to see that simply none of the choices you seem to have feel right to you, and that you have to become more open-minded, and go on searching until you find something that really suits you, and decide to do that?
Or could it be that certain things look different from inside than they would for an outsider? Is it possible that you simply have to try maybe 5 different ways until you can decide which one - if any - fits you best?
In such situations, becoming less open-minded is certainly a solution - but on the risk of becoming a fundamentalist. Becoming more open-minded - or even only recognized that you were not as open-minded as you could be - is not only more chellangiging, but also much more rewarding in the long term.
