What makes all the difference in the world is if a person thirsts after Truth more than anything else. If a person thirsts more after being “right” - iow, they want to be a know-it-all - if someone is more invested in “I know and you don’t” than they are in knowing the Truth, then they will not see Truth no matter how plain and clear it is.
One has to be willing to jettison fondly held beliefs and positions if proven wrong, and be willing to admit that “Wow, I was wrong”.
It’s a much better way to live. The only way to really live. It’s a great freedom.
Ditto! Thirsting after the truth is the key!
