The word waffle is pretty interesting.
First of all, it’s negative. It says, “this guy is changing his mind,” and probably over and over again. And sometimes waffling can be bad, but not always.
If you don’t change your mind, by definition, you’re accepting the decision made by a younger, stupider version of yourself.
Some religious people are like this. They decided a while ago that [X] was true and now they’re not going to change their mind, no matter what. Same thing with politics, sometimes, or any complex issue for that matter.
As time goes on, we learn more. Rules change, and we change. We should be ok with changing our minds.
I’ve always tended to hang out with older people, and I’m glad about that. I’m spending time with people that have more life experience than me. That doesn’t mean they’re always smart, but hey, it does give it a higher likelihood. 🙂
