Open-mindedness is the willingness to search actively for evidence against one’s favored beliefs, plans, or goals, and to weigh such evidence fairly when it is available.

Being open-minded does not imply that one is indecisive, wishy-washy, or incapable of thinking for one’s self. After considering various alternatives, an open-minded person can take a firm stand on a position and act accordingly.

The opposite of open-mindedness is what is called the myside bias which refers to the pervasive tendency to search for evidence and evaluate evidence in a way that favors your initial beliefs. Most people show myside bias, but some are more biased than others.

Open Minded ?

Open Minded implies tolerance. However this tolerance should NOT be extended to filth and filthy behavior. Its one thing to be open minded to tasting other cuisines and being tolerant of opposing political ideology. However, it's a totally different matter to be tolerant of immorality and exhibits of immoral behavior.

The western world has confused tolerance with stupidity and hence this is what is leading to the passage of laws that allow same gender marriages, unabashed adultery and drug culture. In most western cultures, the importance of religion has diminished and the only time that people think about God are either when the get married, or when they get divorced.

Indeed, this is a pathetic state of affairs.
