Any person who doesn’t entertain the possibility that they are wrong is not sane. Anyone incapable of the empathy to see that others have different viewpoints, and knowledge and probably more in areas like, say, their own culture and experience, barely deserves the title “person”
The homeless intellectualism of an unhappy age often uses the term “bigot” for anybody who is sure that he is right and other people are wrong. Every sane man ought to be sure he is right; and, if he is right, then those who contradict him are wrong.

Fair call. But I’m not entirely convinced that being sure about something and never entertaining the possibility that you’re wrong are quite the same thing. In other words I agree with you, and Mr Chesterton.

I would LOVE to be proven wrong MOST of the time. Please, prove me wrong. It would make my day! Unless I'm in New Orleans, I only have one friend I can count on to challenge me. I treasure him so much. =)

Trouble is, people who are sure they are right seldom agree with one another.

Any sane person should be sure they could be wrong. But bigot is too often used as a shutdown. Social media seems to push us to unwarranted extremes and certainty.
