I find changes of heart one of the most endearing things a person can do. Of course, when one changes one's heart, what one is really doing is changing their mind.

It means someone has been open-minded. Someone has examined a held belief and found it untrue.

It is rare and difficult. Humans develop a pretty hard-held set of beliefs, and confirmation bias - seeing what you expect to see based on your beliers, and not seeing what is inconsistent with them - ensures that we think we're right, that our thoughts reflect truths.

Don't believe what you think.

When you process information that changes your mind, it's a beautiful thing.

It isn't easy to do, and it doesn't happen often.

Mind-changing things come along often, but people changing their minds happens a lot less than it potentially could.

Or should.

Because changing one's mind is as wonderful as having an open mind is.
