have u ever been criticised to change your opinions/views on certain things ?
well i belong to the "changing minds" category. and why not. what is wrong with reviewing your own views. most of the times our views are based on certain premise. but as time passes n facts emerge, one must revise his/her views. many ppl would relate maturity with CONSTANT/STABLE views. i'd rather say its only human to change n adapt to the changes.
in fact i beilive that it is one of the best things about humans. this reminds me of couple of shows/seminars on machine learning systems. earlier machines were built with some programmed chip which would simply do the routine job. but great amount of effort has already been put in building systems which would rather self-learn its job. people are trying to build machines/systems which will mature over time by learning the facts.
lets not get more into it.
but i have seen ppl would hesitate to accept that their views being different than what it was earlier. i simply fail to understand why. if you have strong reason/base jus go ahead with the change.
so the bottom line is constant review of your views will lead to mature views.
have u reviewed ur views 2de? (nice tagline ;) hahaha)

You are stating the obvious here. At least to me. Of course one should always review their opinions, otherwise you get branded as stubborn, narrow minded and such. However it is important as to how you go about reviewing your opinion. There must be a logical path that is being followed. You must be able to rationally justify how you changed a particular view. And speaking for myself (and on behalf of Maggy and RC :P) I can say that I have seen no evidence of that ;-). That is why we get into those arguments all the time because very rarely can you provide a logical argument or understand other person's view. Of course this impression is about two years old. Dont know if you underwent some change of persona in the meantime..but I doubt it :D.
Having said all that, it is also important to you stick to what you stand for. Yes all opinions are subject to review but there have to be some core beliefs that should not change easily because those define you as a person. For instance as a simple example, if you easily change from a devout religious person to an atheist...there better be a good reason for it. In fact it better be a life changing event. Having known you well though, I'd say you are more likely to stick to a view (however absurd) than review and change it. Again the 2-year-old-impression-disclaimer applies.
well written!
