Perhaps Hamlet really was<br>bewitched by his uncle and perhaps Laertes killed<br>his sister Ophelia to sell her body, as the tribesmen<br>insisted \u2013 who really knows what Shakespeare was<br>thinking? The point is that we must keep an open<br>mind and embrace new ideas because in truth, our<br>own ideas and attitudes have not served us very well<br>in the past. Am I prepared to keep an open mind and<br>embrace new ideas rather than being dogmatic and<br>judgemental?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-9a9c1f7abf8b4cddfa7bb5b4eeef795e\"><strong><br>Open-mindedness leads us to admit the possibility<br>of error on our part and allows us to think that even<br>long held beliefs might be incorrect. It gives us the<br>courage to change our minds and accept our own<br>fallibility. Intellectual and spiritual progress<br>depends on the discussion and adaptation of ideas<br>without rancour, blame or shame. Today I ask God<br>for openness of mind so that I can enjoy new ideas.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on Facebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;Tiktok.com\/@recoverydays Remember Mindfulness \u2013 review expectations Openness If you try to explain Shakespeare\u2019s Hamlet to agroup of African tribesmen, as an anthropologistdid some years ago, you will get a differentinterpretation of its &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/?p=2261\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":689,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,17,31,20],"tags":[15,28,27,30,26,33,32],"class_list":["post-2261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-addiction-recovery-2","category-behavioural-addiction-2","category-daily-inspiration","category-living-skills","tag-addiction-treatment","tag-castle-craig","tag-connection","tag-daily-inspiration","tag-daily-reflections","tag-fellowship","tag-recovery-journey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2261"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2261\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2262,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2261\/revisions\/2262"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoverydays.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
