Are We Willing To Keep Learning?

"I've been doing it this way all my life." That's what many people say when you try to share something you've learned with them. "Keep praying about it, you'll find the answers". That's another one I hear when you don't agree with someone. People say that we need to keep an open mind, but it seems that what some people really mean is you need to keep an open mind until you see things their way. Does being long suffering mean that they are willing to suffer through the fact that you are being led astray, while they are being led by the true spirit?
