Inside the Box
It was a cold, dark autumn night. Midnight was approaching silently and swiftly, like an owl on the wind. The sky was void of all but faint flickers of starlight. The Man sat quietly in his chair by the fire place. The flame flickered like a serpent's tongue, lashing this way and that. The Man was contemplating his life. His life was brief, time was racing and eternity was only moments away. How many years had flown by in his life since any major event occurred in his life? Twenty? Thirty? Forty? Were his children still living? Do his childhood friends remember him fondly? Is he in the backdrop of their minds as they are in his? He could hardly keep track of the time anymore. His agonizing loneliness was so great that the only company that he could keep were those who visited him in his dreams. He had not been able to sleep this night. Something was keeping him awake and alert. But The Man could not quite figure out why he could not rest. Rest was the only solace he gained from his monotonous waking life.

Discussion
Our culture is constantly dealing with difficult situations. All around us in our fast-paced world and a land of diverse thoughts, opinions and positions on all sorts of issues, there seems to be a growing trend. It is easy for us, as social creatures to be close to those who think and act just as we do. Birds of a feather often flock together comes to mind. In such a culture, it is very easy for us to grow to have a hostile attitude towards those who have different thoughts, opinions and positions on issues than ourselves. Why have we come to this? We are a sophisticated culture, living in an age where information is all around us and technology is constantly increasing and improving day by day. In the blink of an eye, we can send messages to the other side of the globe. So why have we not, as a society, created a formal way of discussing issues that doesn't involve slander, misinformation, name-calling and a tribe-like mentality? Certainly there is nothing inherently wrong with being around those who think like us, and it is understandable why our company should be usually kept by those with similar opinions or interests. But, what if we, were to start having these real, deep discussions in ways where honor is still bestowed to someone on an opposing position. We certainly should be mature enough to agree to disagree if we cannot reach some conclusion that is agreed upon shouldn't we? So, what steps would we take to really change the way we have deep, thought-provoking conversations? I will propose some ideas for an “outline” of how I personally think discussions should be had.
