a higher quality of nothing, striving toward something
Can we please stop calling it “flip flopping” when a politician changes their mind about a position? If we must use the term, can we reserve it for those who change their opinion willy nilly depending on their audience and not for those who have a change in position after a period of consideration and thought?
Rigid refusal to listen to considered argument and change your mind where appropriate isn’t a very good quality. Let’s stop using a derogatory term for people who actually do reconsider their ideas and put thought into things.
I hate that too. It makes it sound like growing and maturing in your views on an issue is the worst thing that you could ever do.
Exactly. As if stubbornly refusing to ever here considered argument is a virtue.
