Mind is like a parachute?

All twisted up and spinning out of control?

Very hard to put back in its container when you have pulled it out?

Most people's only have 7 or 9 cells?

The smaller it is the cooler you are?

Classic

How about:

Get more porous with age?

Need to be aired from time to time?

Dunno, you're a tough act to follow.

I've heard the same thing. Many times. I find the reasoning overly simplified to the point of absurd because, if the person actually opened his or her mind and thought about it, that person would realize that open parachutes are only useful in limited circumstance.

Opening a parachute prematurely may kill you and everyone on the plane.

Walking around with a parachute that's open all the time would be really stupid.

Parachutes are open when ones wants to impede progress - which is why they are carefully packed away most of the time (note - psycho-packing is called psycho-packing).

An open parachute is not the end and an open parachute still may mean disaster if not properly controlled.

Minds are like parachutes - more that one open at a time may look nice, but creates hazards and when they meet the results ain't pretty. Lots of open minds, like open parachutes, requires planning to avert disaster.

A mind is like a parachute - if it opens quickly it's gonna hurt.

The more you load it the faster it goes.

Changing it too often can be dangerous.

I'd rather have peace of mind than a piece of a parachute

People are like a fine wine.

They mellow and develop great taste and complexities with age.





However, eventually - they all get a bit vinegary and smelly and stuff settles to the bottom.

The saying is designed for whuffos, not for people like us with intimate knowledge of parachutes. So, in the company of whuffos, it's still a good saying for some circumstances.

I also find the second part to be nonsensical, since a "closed" mind does still function. I mean, even a close-minded whuffo can probably still balance a checkbook.
