the flexible philosophy is like shaving.
See, you can tell a man that he shaves his face wrong and he will look at you disdainfully. For he has been shaving since he was little more than a boy, and to his satisfaction, the hair always left his chin.

Now, you can tell him that he still shaves incorrectly, and that shaving each area twice, first with, then against the growth is the proper way to do so. He will, undoubtedly, look upon you with little kindness and quaintly disagree. Why is your way more correct than his, thinks he?
But if you approach him with an open mind and open intellect and ask him for the way in which he shaves and why he does so, he will provide you with all necessary avenues for you to counter and feedback into his own thoughts with righteous and courteous opinions. He may not agree with you in the end, for still he thinks, why is your way more correct than his? However, now that both parties are educated on each others’ behalf and both armed with contagious open mindedness, watch how each man morphs his philosophy so that the previous rigidity of their mindsets are gone forever.
The flexible philosophy is birthed by such.
