I feel like I can’t trust my perceptions ,I can’t rely on anything( any concept ) because just when I feel I’ve had some insight ,I question myself and actually think of two contradicted things at the same time. I also don’t think I really have much of a wide perspective toward anything though.I like to know how others make it to be open minded ? I don’ know why it feels to me like being no stable.

i think because i have been wrong so many times..it has forced me to keep an open mind and not think that i "know it all" bcos i definitely don't.
i have found that life is constantly changing and so am i, stable is a foreign word to me! LOL! but i manage.
i think that life is an ever changing experience and the experiences help us grow.( i should be an oak tree by now!) it does give me a lot to think about and i constantly do think about things!
it is good to "look at things from other's point of view" i have found this is quite helpful in resolving and minimizing conflict.
being obstinate is not always a good thing, if you can change your mind..look at things from all sides..you can get a better overall perspective.IMHO
