Stubbornness
“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” – Albert Einstein
Your principles serve as a foundation—a compass that provides direction. But even the best compass is useless if you refuse to adjust when new terrain demands it.
Only the foolish root themselves so deeply in a position that they cannot move when reason or understanding reveals a new truth. Principles are meant to guide you, not imprison you. A rigid mind, unwilling to evolve, does not demonstrate strength—it reveals fragility.
Be cautious in how vigorously you defend a stance, especially when it becomes about pride rather than truth. Beware of posturing in absolutes. If you refuse to evolve in the face of reason, nature will run over you, leaving you behind.
Stand firm when it serves truth, but remain adaptable when wisdom calls for change. Evolve. Grow. Let truth be your highest principle.
