Hmm..usually you might get to think that someone is open minded from what he says about him/her self.or from how he seem to act and think.But many peoples pretend to be open minded because that have heard that its on fashion to be open minded.What i was trying to say was that they build an image around them who isnt necesary how they trully are.

Enlightenment and being open-minded are not the same thing.
Being open minded is the first step to enlightenment.
When a person is open-mind all it means is they are willing to learn and listen.

''enlightened'' and ''open-minded'' r different things. also, open minded people are those who know the new ideas [ideas not facts] but may not agree with them 2.

Because there is such a thing as being so open minded that your brains fall out.

It is one thing to be willing to listen to a good idea, but it is quite another to truly understand it.
It is one thing to understand a good idea, but it is quite another to truly believe it.
It is one thing to believe a good idea, but it is quite another to truly live it.
So open-mindededness is not enlightenment. But it is a first step.
