An open mind fosters an open heart.
There's a long story to this lesson, but summarized, when I believed my truth was an inerrant revelation from "God" that could not be challenged, it closed my heart and mind to the rest of the world and blinded me to the suffering I caused by my arrogance and loose lips. When everything I believed was tested and my faith crumbled, I was reborn with a more understanding, open, and compassionate heart. Once my mind was open to the fact I could be very very wrong, and once I had been wrong, my heart was opened to the voices around me.
