As more information, knowledge & experience comes to hand it only makes sense to change one’s mind & form new opinions. I’ve changed my mind about people, governments, police, laws, social practices, etc. on numerous occassions.

I do things based on my understanding and that goes along with acquiring new knowledge and that is a continuous process. We can call that as change; which is an evitable part of life.

Absolutely. I have changed my mind at times if it resulted in a better outcome after a reassessment of the situation on hand.
I took my family to a non-profit community based restaurant for lunch instead of a fancy restaurant so that they appreciate better values. After our meal, they thanked me for it as it created awareness within them.
