Can you think of a once strongly held conviction, belief or ideology on which you have completely changed your position?

so succinct … so much to think about bluebee, and the answer is yes, of course 🙂
Don’t be coy, Christine – spit it out 🙂
well here is a simple one … until i was 18 and heard of reincarnation i totally believed i would die and go to heaven! now i am in a stage of all my beliefs in that area being lightly held … they float as possibilities only … but my conviction that love and compassion are more beneficial for all than judgement and fear is just as strong as ever 🙂
“They float as possibilities only” – I like your philosophy, Christine.
are you in the same realm bluebee?
I have no belief, as such. I see death as a great unknown, which is a positive for me.
Love the shoes and good question. I would hope the answer would be yes for most people or at least for anyone over 30.
Hello DS 😀
It’s so interesting to hear what shapes changes in a person’s outlook, particularly when it’s a positive or more tolerant one.
Is that you own tiny baby shoe? what a delight whoever it belongs to. Yes like DS, once we reach a certain age we surely must have been there 🙂
It is, Gilly. My mum had it done in copper around 40-something years ago 😉
I love the story about the copper shoe. Not sure if that’s a relevant comment, but I thought I’d chuck it in anyway
Relevance’s relative 😀 Thanks, Counting Ducks.
Nice footwear. Which is your latest? 🙂
Hehe – depends on my state of mind, Col 😀
Heehee – very witty!

Great idea, nicely done!
Thanks, Tina 😀
I love seeing a photo which tells a story.,.. bb, Your mind races ahead and fills in any gaps… as to a change in any held philosophy…I once believed I could forgive everything, but since learned I can’t… Mayhap the sad indictment is against me and not my transgressor.. .. xPenx
“I once believed I could forgive everything, but since learned I can’t” – yes, Pen, but, perhaps, since learning that, you’ve also been able to forgive some things that you’ve thought you couldn’t.
maybe so, bb, .. hope your blogging break isn’t a long one my friend.. take care and ‘live long and prosper’ ... I;m sure I’ve nicked that from somewhere.. can’t think where.. 😉 xPenx
just hotfooted over, bb, (puff puff pant pant !!) is that really you?.. Is thou back to blogging for real again? Hope so, for you have been missed. 🙂 xx
So lovely of you to say, Pen 😀
you ok? Not wanting to pry, for breaks away sometimes have to happen. (having just come back from a long break myself, still cannot believe how long) Long distance hugs. xx
Yes, thanks 😀 just so much on the last two months that something had to give – could sleep for a month. Hugs to you xxx
Clever way of visualizing that statement.
Thanks, Charles.
I’m in love with the shoes, Bluebee. Love your question but can’t answer with a picture – only a link and a thought. First thing is silent movies: I used to yawn and now (sometimes) go “Wow – Holy cow!” My all-time favorite movie, silent or not, may be “Sunrise”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise:_A_Song_of_Two_Humans And then there’s my mother-in-law, about whom I used to think: “This woman does not understand me at all!” Now I find lots to appreciate. The wheel turns, sometimes way too slowly.
I love your comment, Monica. Silent movies – that’s such an interesting one. I’ve never seen Sunrise, which is obviously a drama, but did study Rashomon (reluctantly so), and have come to appreciate Charlie Chaplin and other silent slapstick (a genre I used to think was just silly). Nice that you see your mother-in-law differently now. I used to see everything very much in black & white, but these days few things are so clear-cut.
Everything is possible!
Love the shoes!
Thanks, Vanecktharien 🙂
Lovely photo, and great question. The answer is of course yes, because I’m getting on a bit in years now. Strongly held convictions are for the young and the stubborn, be use life will keep showing us the other side of things….if we let it 🙂
Life has a way of teaching us, for sure. Thanks, Greenmackenzie (is that Irish-Scots? 🙂
Scottish Gaelic….don’t know if that’s the same thing?
Change is part of life and we die when we cannot cope anymore with change.
Change is a challenge!
love your photo!
Whew, I should have died a long time ago 🙂 Thanks, Benedicte.
😉 you did good!
Had to laugh at your response, BB. I’m bad at change, too. I once read, years ago, that intelligence was the ability to adapt. I guess that means in the sense of survival. But I fail.
Cute little baby shoe. I see your style hasn’t changed, only the size. 🙂
Ha! I wondered if anyone would see the similarity in the shoes 😀

Very cute shoes! 😀
The conviction I’ve changed over the years is how people bring up their children. Before I had children I thought I was an ‘expert’ – once I had children I realised I knew absolutely nothing. Now I never judge a parent 😀
Having never had children, I’m still an expert 😀
LOL! 😀

I have not been fond of “CATS” all my life. In fact I would call them a complete waste of fur. But recently my feelings toward them has changed. Because of a simple twist of fate. I now intend to acquire an all black kitten.

You and me, both, Kenny. I have come to appreciate cats, but still prefer the totally uncool affection of a dog. They are so sweet.
Love the photo, BB. As we grow and mature it is natural for us to change. We cannot stand still and grow! Philosophies and outlooks change as we mature…
That’s for sure, Adee. I think, though, that some fundamental core remains unchanged, or perhaps this is just a nostalgic notion…
No, I think you are right.
hey dat beautiful. Njoy ur break::)

when I was a teenager I thought being gay was wrong. Can’t understand the thought process now!
It’s the perfect example. 🙂
BB, I’m way behind here…but I love this one!!
