Caught up in a situation, it is a human trait to wish the clocks could be turned backwards, to provide alternative options and choice.
Apart from the daylight saving convention followed in some countries, it isn’t possible to truly make time go backwards.
The present is where each person is. The future holds possibilities to make things better. Trust building is a key element required in the sort of communication that activates the willingness to listen and negotiate.
Yet, some folks seem to lack the wherewithal to look at themselves with radical honesty and so the deadlock remains fixed.
Is it possible that cultural rigidity might be too often conflated with psychological reality?
