When looking in to the matter, do you see all that you want to see, or do you listen to the facts?

Question

in other words when you enter a discussion, perhaps dealing with an issue, an oversight, or a downright blatant omission or promise, are you judgmental, having already made up your mind, no matter what......or is your mind, thoughts and energies open and focused for the truth?

based on a contact's prev Q!♥

Answer 1

I don't know. It depends on the situation. It depends on the time frame or urgency. It depends on the person's track record and reputation. It depends on everything leading up to that moment. It also depends on if i even have the authority or need to make a decision or voice an opinion on the matter. In short, it may not be up to me and or it may be out of my capabilities. So I may simply ignore the situation altogether. It happens.

Answer 2

We do not listen to the facts ,rather we try to see all that we want to see.This is because we have already made up our mind for any discussion due to egoistic property of mind or you can say mind is egoistic always.

Answer 3

I go into the conversation with my mind set (for the most part) on my way of thinking.  Usually after talking a bit, one or the other is going to inch closer to the other's way of thinking or we just have to find a way to agree to disagree.

The hardest 'discussions' are the ones that involve your heart being set on something though.  Our minds are designed to accept logic, our hearts reject it with every ounce of energy they have.

Answer 4

I would tend to come to my own conclusions, if the facts are not presented , what is left to do.
