“It can’t be changed!”
If you’re up to someone who has already changed his mind and no new facts can make a change; it would be wise to stop the discussion there! ..... The person is all “entrenched” and has “ALL” THE facts his/her personality will not allow a new fact to enter in the conversation; you might as well stop there!
If “life long voting” habits are not changeable by word of mouth, or by incident, or by a new fact; you might as well stop there!
People who vote for a party automatically, because their granddaddy or their father voted in such a way that their viewpoint didn’t change no matter what the facts were, were also part of “you might as well stop there!”

#7900 - #56 - The Importance of “To Know”
“To Know” is to “Understand”.
What further do you have to investigate? Isn’t the purpose of your “communication” to be understood? Why did you communicate in the first place?
How do you know if the other party “knows” what you mean; other than by his reaction?
Is it “too late”?
“To Know” is to “Understand”.
How do you really understand “ahead of time”?
Is it in your previous relationship? If so; what does it tell you?
Well then, what is the harm?
It is “harmful” only if your previous relationship is one in which you have relied on too heavily and the result of “failure to understand” bears too “heavy a burden” on the actual results (based on the actual facts, as known by a few)
So, what is one to do?
One can incorporate such detail, in the initial communication, that a normal person could react in a normal way. Don’t leave it to chance! Fill it with too much detail! The fault remains yours in any case!
Most cases of “misunderstanding” are yours! REGARDLESS!
Please add to your initial communication any details that might subtract from a “misunderstanding”!
YOU are the cause!
You simply are the "the cause”.

#7900 - #55 - What most people (CAN) do
Most people, when faced with this dilemma, “What to do when faced with the most important thing to do?”
a) will do nothing
b) will make up something to do
Far be, it to think “What to do?”
Rather than to do “something” ……(OR “anything!” to do.)
“To think”….. “to consider alternatives” ……………………. “mostly to think”
How often does one consider “to think” as an alternative?
In choosing, “What is most important?”,…… do you have a choice?
Did you think, before you touched that dial, “Do I expect an intelligent answer from this source?” What is the alternative?........ to think?...... to reason?……. to consider?
Something has to happen in your brain just as we answer the question!
Isn’t it when you know think you know 1/2 of the work has been done!
Without this procedure; all you get are disjointed facts; said in a disjointed way; with no chance of a meaningful conclusion.
The First order of business to establish meaningful language…….
A DEFINITION OF WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DISCUSS ……
IN A WAY THAT IS MUTUALY UNDERSTOOD.

#7900 - #54 - What actually people do
They continue to do absolutely “nothing”
They continue their old habits of declining any serious debates.
They continue having their old discussions although the stakes have changed.
Most people are afraid of change…..change of any thoughts !
Most people reject any changes……changes of any thoughts !
The world economies have changed ….note Ireland !
Most people think that ”Thinking” is a diversion … away from their “regular business affairs”. It should be on their “regular calendar”!
Thinking is HARD!......Thinking is WORK! ……. Just thinking about alternative ways ……a better way to do something, etc.!
The act of “Thinking” takes practice. You don’t start a ball game without a good “practice session”! You start from a place that is terribly familiar and you “think” your way into areas that are unfamiliar … for instance try a “definition” of a word you use often. You’d be surprised at the “definition” you would come up with……practice….practice!
“Thinking” is, indeed, HARD WORK!
Nor does “Thinking” become easier!
The more time you spend on such things as “simple definitions”, the more time you’ll spend on “thinking”!
What about “greed” and the capital desire “to make a profit”? Where are the limits?
What is difference between “capitalism and dictatorship”? Tough stuff when you have to write it down!
Start the “Thinking” process now!!!!
