I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.
-Bertrand Russell
This is a philosophy i live by. I've done my own real life research and i find that i try to entertain my own opinions with some measure of a doubt as well. It's very easy to become closed-minded and get caught up in having the answers all the time. The fact of the matter is, i form opinions very little on a lot of things. We all live by our own philosophies whether we know it or not. Some choose to own it or it owns them. I think that being open-minded is the basis of owning and living you're own philosophy. It's a beautiful thing accepting that i don't have all the answers, nor do i have to. I've found some peace in that.
How do you approach your philosophies in life? I think it's a good question not enough people ask themselves.
I think this is a very wise philosophy to live by. We should always remain skeptical of our own beliefs...this leads us to always be open-minded.
