There is nothing wrong with voicing our views eloquently. Neither is there a problem if/when we change our views over time, due to additional knowledge, experiences and changed values. Changing such views down the road provides a strong argument for the new held view, does it not?
I have not read Mahatma Gandhi’s Autobiography My Experiment with Truth, but am interested now. Thanks for sharing.
It is a great book his concept of relative truth and compromised reality is worth every accolade. Please do read.
Changing beliefs is inevitable but the question is how justifiable is that you don't hold onto those view on which some believe you do and they follow you.
If we do not change our views over time, maybe we were right at the outset, Maybe we are not developing? Hard to tell.
As for followers, they may or may not come along. We search truth and pursue truth for its sake, not for the sake a someone who has an opinion.
Yes but autobiographies are a way of conveying a path. It made me too wonder that how are these two realms balanced. Developing and misleading. That is why i would love to hear more opinions.
No balance - because it goes to Motive. Does it not? One is starting to see, the other is always blinding.
Yeah it is. But such interrogation is necessary to find that motive. Maybe this is why a man like Gandhi pondered for few years.
