People Debate but Seldom Create Change

Studying Human Nature, you might think, would be an uplifting experience. Take any subject and people express their passion, Indignance and criticism for the popular discussion points that arise daily.

The common theories that result sound like an uprising for change.
What follows testifies to our Inability to resolve Issues, small or large, because in truth we are forever cleaning up our own mess.
We have become the ultimate debating society with Interest only in contributing to discussions, rather than being part of any change.
You can always pick out the people with some life experience because they express themselves with a better understanding of the subject. You sense some personal Insight or time taken to consider the subject in what they say. They are calm because they are confident in the facts they are presenting.
You may not agree with them but it’s not hard to respect their sincerity.
Then of course there is the “Bucket” who tends to be loud but who struggles to qualify where their thinking is solid. They are used to winning an argument by shouting down others. They hate simple questions that drive doubts through what they say. They find Truth uncomfortable rather than reassuring.
No matter how obscure the discussion point, what results is diverse opinion. What is diverse is the level of disagreement rather than agreement.
False pride too often emboldens us to accept a point well made that clearly throws new light on our view. We want to be heard but too often refuse to be flexible to change.
Whether its Local, National or International we see a common factor of people not being open to agreement. Just Imagine if we could find a cure for this!
Listening to wide opinions is good but when the debate ends with no resolution we should not be surprised that Change or Progress was never the Goal in the first place. Being seen and heard was the satisfaction.
Just reflect on how common this scenario is in life.
If we cannot begin change in ourselves then we are just part of the Crowd in the Caption.
