I want to attempt to be objective and suspend my personal way of processing information based on my own experiences. Although this is like breaking a very bad habbit. It's difficult thinking outside the box. (the box being our own experiences) I'm sure it's possible, but I wonder how different of an opinion we'll come back with when we've thought one way for so long? Can we be so objective that we might really change our viewpoint completely? It is my suspicion that we will always have an inclination to defend our original views, even after we've realized there might be better reasons to support a different one. This supporting your statement that we can't step outside ourselves when analyzing ideas, thoughts and information. Ultimately I think we may always end up holding on a little to the old and a little to the new.. Okay, I am the first.
