How to we as people see eye to eye?

Question

I've noticed that there are two sides of every story, but check this out; That means there's also a right and wrong (or truth and lie.) Now both sides have people to back their claims. And should one try to refute ones knowledge, the other is quick to rebuttle. My question is, do both sides actually hear each other during this debates. I know the difference between war of words and a natural conversation of topics, but when both sides choose the war, are they learning anything from each other?

Answer 1

When both sides choose war they never learn anything from each other because their only interest is in what they have to say..........Two sides to every story may not necessarily be that one is lying or one is wrong..........Sometimes it's how the story itself is interpreted.............Even if I don't agree with someone I'll always let them speak their minds because I've found there's more to be learned about a person by listening to them then by shouting over them...........CAT

Answer 2

Probably not.
Presuming that there is a right or wrong is to presume that one party wins at the expense of the other partys loss. This is an ancient paradigm that has to be replaced if humanity is to survive long enough to make any real evolutionary progress.
People have to be willing to make this huge adjustment one person and one heart at a time.
We'll see what happens.
