Today, many people are becoming more and more vocal about their beliefs with the popularity of the Internet today.
Battling this trend by keeping a closed mind will only result in negative experiences for not only yourself, but also the people you interact with. Having an open mind will allow you to grow your own beliefs, emotions, and interactions in a positive way.
