Today it seems people will only listen when they are threatened. Should it be like this? No of course not, but we live in a world where everyone from Politics, to certain demographics and large corporations to individual pricks will only act or step into line when an endless barage of abuse is sent their way. People are out of patience and that means tolerance is dead. Just look to Qantas, endless aggression is used against its staff, yet the staff until recently have always tried to be reasonable and tolerant. You cannot fight endless abuse and aggression with peace and love, it must be fought with an equal and opposite reaction, if not an even greater reaction.
Im afraid that I don’t agree with you.
We obviously inhabit different worlds.
Good luck in yours
