I also feel it's not always good to be open minded. I feel it's better to have an open heart. Being too open mind can be confusing and be dangerous if you allow yourself to be impressionable to every whim. I feel the only guide is peace. Everything around me can be chaotic but peace can still reside. Everything can seem smooth but feel chaotic. Joy comes from within and I feel it comes being close to the lords spirt. Thats the only thing that helps me see things as they truly are. Its good to see the divinity in people but it's good to see how something can become not good.
