There are so many societal problems to choose from but the most important societal problem today is we are not trying to understand why others think differently from us. We think we must agree but we will not listen to someone else’s beliefs and thoughts.

We need to look at the truths on both sides and try to figure out a way to better understand the problem and hopefully fix it but that cannot be done until we start listening to each other and understanding where other peoples beliefs and opinions are coming
