Ever noticed...that it seems harder for people to change their minds as they get older?
Why is that? Perhaps this is because it took a while for people to form their minds in the first place and once they do, all the related dynamics involved inhibit the process of doing it again.
There are, of course, people who seem to always change their mind. So, there is no one-size-fits-all rule on this. But, the formation of the mind and the subsequent elasticity of it is a rather conspicuous thing.
It is not hard to observe that when someone does change their mind, there are often significant relational events that seem to be involved. As much as we would like to think that our minds should be like fixed points, they really aren't. We change our minds routinely, especially when certain factors are involved.
