RE: Fifty-word short story challenge - "water"
Very interesting. Ironically, people tend to be suspicious of those who change their mind too quickly about certain matters, as if it were something negative. We should embrace change, given we can´t help changing.
:) oh, that. When you add interaction to it than it depends on which plane the former you walked and talked. If the present you and the present other are not on the same level, mind changing can be indeed very disturbing. As if a lie was detected. You said "too quickly" - that is probably the disturbing factor. Who decides on the pace? :-)
Right. I was thinking more of changes in conceptions. Some people may experience life-changing episodes that may take them to move from, say being pro-choice to pro-life, or pro-weapons to anti-weapons. Of course there is always the possibilty that interests are at play, in which case people will look at the changes as suspicious.
Yes, I can confirm that. To let other people not become irritated by mind changings it is always supportive to let them partake in ones own process. So the news doesn't come out of nowhere. I can see that often people are irritated by changing from "pro" to "anti" or that they become christian after being their whole life against anything theistic.
In the end, it's a matter of trust how well the environment reacts on the changes one shows.
