SWITCH
.

How does a mind change?
It can change suddenly
When new credible information comes to light
Suddenly the whole concept seems different
The only explanation would fit a theory
Different from the one the mind is currently using
.
.
A mind can change slowly too
Gradually evidence gathers to show
That a different theory is needed
To encompass the new facts
.
.
Both of these changes of mind
Bring changes in our choices
Even changes in how one sees oneself
Perhaps a new circle of friends too
Who also see things this new way
.
.
One thing that never changes a mind
Never results in a change of heart
Is being shouted down, cursed, attacked, degraded, or belittled
On the contrary
This bullying behavior
Virtually ends the possibility of meaningful change
Slams shut the open mind
And drives away those seeking reason and clarity
