"The mind is like an umbrella – it only works when it is open".Sir James Jeans (1877-1946, physicist)
We can be open to change in terms of understanding the physical world, or how we view an artistic method. But what about being open to change about our beliefs or our values? Beliefs – religious or non-religious – and values go deep within us and make us who we are. On the positive side, changing our mind about what we believe or what we think is right / wrong can help us to become more mature, to grow in understanding what it is to be human and also to grow in faith. But is there a negative side?

I had an email from a student saying:
Change in life provokes often the change of our beliefs. It is a difficult task to keep the balance between learning new things and preserving our inner core. But we need both: change and stability, just like we need, diversity and simplicity, carnival and Lent and all other "versuses of life".
