Oh dear. Yawn. Here we go again.

Is being open-minded* on spiritual or philosophical matters a positive or a negative thing; is it a strength or a weakness?

* Three other questions: replace "open-minded" with [1] sceptical [2] robust [3] reflective.

To clarify the foundational context of this question, are we presuming that the mind is coextensive with the apparent physical boundaries of each so-called person's brain or (perhaps more expansively) with their bodily incarnation?

Do you even know what Arcturus is?

Of course I do, you puny Earth Christian.

Maybe, now you’ve looked it up.

Have you ever been happy?

You make comments about others, then alter them as you see the tide has revealed your error. Nothing makes you happy. Nothing.

Is that why you continually go back to the well, trying to get the same 'big hit' you got when you bullied someone the first time? Your dopamine receptors are just tired out, man.

I would agree that a recommendation to practice and cultivate an internal sense of contentment would be the correct Rx for some imbalanced personalities, as a remedy or at least palliative for their constantly thrashing about in search of "more", thereby causing trouble for themselves and others. Unfortunately, this Rx is often rejected by the vainglorious preeners and the overweening clever.

Your diction has disqualified you from any serious consideration.
