Openmindedness

Is there even such a word or quality. A person too liberal causes problems too, as he never enforces anything. He is smart to realise that he may be wrong, and ends up giving the benefit of doubt.
But I would rather be this and the other, If I am not this, I am enforcing stuff on others, which I don't. Live and let live.. in their own way.
It is very rare that I meet ppl who are openminded. My parents are "pretty much" open minded, my in-laws are selectively open-minded. Amrit is very liberal (and believe me, it is a concern ).
Its not easy to be open-minded. Its not easy to respect others who don't see eye to eye with us. I am trying to cross a thin line, which is going to affect my whole life. Might add lots of frustration and may even cause regret.

I started this months ago, and now I do not even remember what thin line I was talking about. :)
