Something is changing. People are looking for answers and becoming dissatisfied with the current narrative. They do, however, keep repeating the narrative. It might be because it's their only way to open up the topic for discussion.
It might be best to understand their decision as being nothing more than a biological reflex. It could just be the only thing that is relevant, current and on their mind.
But such circumstances aside, there must bexist someone with sensemaking abilities who has simply become so intimidated with the topic from a narrow scope of eprception, whose good sense is simply trying to initiate the entry into a new information base. In such an instance, how do we best verify the propensity for acquiring new perspective gracefully?
There can be a delicate line to tow between these two, if one is to be having a coherent and substantial journey of movement through conceptions fom which one can acquire insight into their own life-circumstance. Too insignificant, an one hasn't need to give serious and attentive thought to the matter. Too consequential, and likely to become catastrophic, and one's own body overwhelms them with angst and confusion. The issue is being honest in the face of delivering what might be seen as bad news.
Ah, yes, you cannot dwell too far from it. The truth of the matter is that you can never change the past, so the news is already somethign that you are living with. So, rather than understandign what the purpose is, you must realize that the purpose might as well be interpreted through the decision to be purposeful. That is to say, there are always reason as to why one might consider one's conduct and action to affect the world. Given that the world is your environment, one can logically come to ascertain that the health and harmony of the environment bears the capacity to extend our own health.
The next is the reverberation of our actions at more distal frames of perception, but who bear importance to you (such as your future grand children). Surely, being aware of that consciously can help align one towards acquiring new perception within a geuinely open outlook.
