Give a man a fish...

And he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime.

Mind you, he'll only be eating fish. Sooner or later, wouldn't he want to have some steak and potatoes?

Learning is a part of life. It's an ongoing process. If we don't allow ourselves to learn, we shut ourselves out of a lot of experiences. And it's not just about learning facts. It's about learning about other people. Every person is different and unique in their own way. And it's beautiful.

So why would someone choose not to open up their mind to someone elses' opinion, and to someone elses' views? You don't need to adopt them or make them your own - just realize the value that another point of view might have.
