True learning not only is not “fun”, it should leave you a different person. I believe learning is a process of transformation.

I wonder if this is the root of why I'm so open to having my mind changed. I've always approached learning that way - because it's fundamentally a new understanding of things I didn't know until that point. 

That new knowledge should continue to shape us as we go... we don't get to ignore new information for the convenience of not *wanting* to integrate it.
