Witticisms

Not to long ago in the recent past I created "Angelaisms" via my Facebook page;  Little nuggets of wisdom from the mind of me. Compiled from actual experiences they were brought to blogger fruition in an attempt to create my own personal philosophy. My thoughts on life, love, relationships and positivity.  Dry humor and wit often included.

 My first Angelaism posted wasn't actually titled as an Angelaism and wasn't numbered, however it was the catalyst of my collection. 

So many people are blinded by their own subjectivity. Closed minds don't get fed either.

Great one isn't it?  My reaction to people overreacting based on personal experience, the baggage the carry, and how they are affected is one of confusion because it is somewhat hypocritical because I too, often react from the heart and not the mind. BUT, if I consciously have my mind set to "filter" I can usually set aside those thoughts and react evenly, and objectively. I have to think about it of course, but I CAN do it. And you can to. The strength is in the choice.

If you are presented with an ideal or idea that is not your own, do not shut down and immediately take another person's wisdom and throw it in the mental circular file. Everyone has something to teach, and everyone has something to learn. If you close your mind, you can' feed your mind. If you can't feed your mind, your can't thrive. Thriving is good. It means you are growing.  The education of the mind should only end when the  body carrying it fails to breathe and support it's function.

Stop letting your own subjectivity prevent you from acquiring more wisdom.  That my friends, is the mark of true intelligence and virtue.
