Introduction

In the past four years since the pandemic, it’s been hard to have conversations with people.

Everyone has been under one of the greatest menticidal psychological operations—this country has ever seen. It’s taken a toll on all of us.

People have lost childhood and generational friends over this.

So, granted, it makes it hard for us to have conversations during times like Thanksgiving and Christmas because there might be some tension there.

Unfortunately, this is a result of our society, but we need to bring back these uncomfortable conversations. We need to bring back disagreements because disagreements are one of the most beautiful things that occur in humanity.
