They should be the people in our life that listen without judging, offering sympathy and advice if needed. They should ask intelligent questions to understand, offer constructive argument to make sure you're doing okay or they're understanding your point of view. They should stimulate your mind with their wisdom... ideas to be discussed openly and reasonably with love not hate.
Anyone who doesn't meet this standard should be allowed to move on with love, but you owe no loyalty to anyone that's carrying a closed-minded ego who wants nothing less but to see you closed-minded too.
Of course, one should not judge others being closed-minded until given ample time to prove it's true. If you deny them your thoughts/feelings, you are the one being closed-minded... not them.
If you judge someone, without given them an option to be enlightened, then you are responsible for closing the door to their minds. If you have the key but refuse to use it, you cannot find fault in anyone but yourself.
