Do You Have an Open Mind?

What exactly does it mean when someone says, "I have an open mind"?

I've met some people with an open mind like an:

  • open space - nothing, not even gravity
  • open prairie - breezy endless wasteland
  • open briefcase - everything inside falls out
  • open well - easily contaminated by anything the wind blows in
  • open season - everything there is fair game
  • open sewer - well, you get the picture
  • open mine - dark, confusing, and easy to get lost
  • open door - just because it's open doesn't mean it should be
  • open gun chamber - only open for a split second, between shots
  • open trap - one wrong move and it closes hard and fast
  • open hydrant - it's open, but there's so much coming out you can't put anything in

"The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid." - GK Chesterton
