Open-minded people do not care to be right; they care to understand. For them, the goal isn’t to win an argument but to expand their perspective. There is never simply a right or wrong answer, everything is about understanding. I think it’s also worth considering: while understanding is vital, there are times especially in matters of justice, science, or safety when distinguishing between right and wrong becomes necessary. And even in those cases, approaching the issue with a mindset of seeking understanding can lead to more compassionate and effective outcomes.
