Either I don't change my mind very often or I don't notice when I do, but two things do come to mind, one trivial, one less trivial. Which is which is up to you. :)
1) I used to think Rothko was way overhyped. I didn't get why anyone cared. Then I went to the Tate Modern's Rothko room. I think I spent an hour just sitting in there looking. 2) I used to think beggars on the street were scammers, drug users, alcoholics, or mentally ill and I shouldn't give them money because they'd waste it or were lying to me. Now I think they may be scammers, drug users, alcoholics, mentally ill - or not - and that I should give them money regardless, that it's not up to me to judge what's best for them. -- Charles On Sat, 18 Nov 2017 at 14:22 Shenoy N <[email protected]> wrote: > The biggest thing I changed my mind about in the recent past - heck, like > in ever - is Narendra Modi.
