I got into a heated discussion with a couple of NF friends. I knew they were both into self-improvement, buddhism and stuff like that, so I raised the issue of being opinionated and how it changes the way you perceive the world. My point was that everyone who has extreme opinions about anything is limiting their own perception, and I argued that this is not a special case, but that any opinion will limit the things you will be able to see around you.
One of my friends agreed, the other one disagreed. He thought that life would become meaningless and dull without opinions. We ended up arguing about this for some time, but I don't know if any good points were made anymore, as we got quite drunk at the same time.
Anyhow, what do you think about this? Is lack of opinions important for self-improvement? Do you think your type has anything to do with how you see this?
