Answer preview
Openness to new concepts is an excellent quality to possess. It demonstrates one’s openness to learning about new things and willingness to experiment with concepts they haven’t previously encountered.[1] A person’s opinions are not biased or ignorant. One frequently has an initial conviction about a given issue before an outside source influences their decisions; whether it is a notion about a person or a sports team, it does not influence us until an outside source changes our opinions. As a result, because it affects our perception of a certain topic, it can cause someone to forget their original thoughts and beliefs about something they already hold an opinion about. This applies to Buddhism as a religion and everyday life in general.
