Perspective

"It's bad to have an opinion you're proud of if you can't state the arguments for the other side better than your opponents. This is a great mental discipline." -Charlie Munger

There is an advantage when you you able to see and argue both sides of any debate. When you know the other sides arguments, it's possible points of attack, will allow you to prepare for counterattacks long before it is actually happening.

The most interesting aspect of this exercise is that once we learn the other sides arguments we may just discover that they were right and we were wrong. This is probable why so many people do not participate in such a exercise.

One of the hardest situations to get over is the knowing we are wrong and the facing up to the music, admitting when we are wrong. This is SOOOO beneficial to anybody who applies this to everyday life. This is how you will get over your faults when you are incorrect and correct it to the better answers or information.. This is the way to propel yourself to the top way faster than any stubborn person that will not change the thought or what they believe and not open there eyes to other opinions or facts.

We must be open minded to knowing we could be wrong at any moment. This is how wisdom is opening up to us, to receive the great learning of everything we desire.
