Babaal,

I don't think being open-minded about all things all the time is necessarily the solution. You don't want to be open to disease and germs and things that could harm you. Being open to all things all the time is as bad as being closed-minded to all things all of the time. The difference between the educated and the uneducated is that educated people know what they are open to and why. The uneducated is either open to everything. Or he goes the other extreme in trying to protect himself and is closed to everything.

Very few have struck the healthy balance. Very few people know what they are open to and why. Very few people know what they are closed to and why.

But you are right. If we understood these things, we Nepalese would come one step closer to being able to talk around the table as brothers and sisters instead of fighting like dogs on the streets.
