Closed-minded people put others down,
Open-minded people are tolerant and understanding.
Closed-minded people cannot see the good in people who disagree with them.
Open-minded people see some good in everyone.
Closed-minded people mind other people’s business.
Open-minded people mind their own.
Closed-minded people are envious and jealous,
Open-minded people are contended and thankful.
Closed-minded people know it all,
Open-minded people realise how little we all know.
Closed-minded people belittle our cultures and customs, Open-minded people know the value of diversity.
Closed-minded people are suspicious and overly cautious, Open-minded people are trusting and adventurous.
Closed-minded people talk without thinking,
Open-minded people think before talking.
Closed-minded people think they are always right,
Open-minded people realise how easy it is to be wrong.
Closed-minded people like to judge others,
Open-minded people let others judge them.
