Time, Patience, Reason, Reflective Listening

Why do people think you can turn a battleship around in a stream over night>?
HUH? What the heck is she talking about?

You can't solve these massive problems of economics, health care, a crumbling educational system quickly--at least not without full cooperation from a majority of a population and or their legislators.

If that population and the legislators are working against any and all attempts to fix or even discover the source of the problems--nothing can or will be done...but the problems will not go away.

Only the understanding that a Government of a country with 400million compatriots
needs TIME to repair any part of a system that is not functioning.

People who are not willing to share--anything--or who have become knee jerk in their opposition to any new ideas or who have narrowed their thinking to following whoever complains the loudest--are part of the problem.

Listening to each other--not the so-called pundits--really listening by repeating to ourself the words that create a knee jerk response--in a small sense they then become our own--giving a bit of credence to those words and offering our opposing view with rational, inside voices.

That's all for now...I'm not feeling well.
