RE: That was a waste of time... Was it really?
Changing your thinking and world view can rarely be an instantaneous thing without some traumatic event.
I think it is failure in our own thinking to believe that one encounter or statement can change a worldview. A worldview is just that: a view of how things work for us / how we function and exist.
To believe that something you said/posted/discussed could change someone's view that has years of foundation is a problem with our own logic.
Yep, it can actually change a view. Yet if it does it likely will be long after that discussion has ended. When it comes to our world view it truly does change pretty slow unless something traumatic occurs that makes us change instantly. Traumatic changes are usually pretty specific and tend to only change SOME things.
My main thing I wanted to get across is that discussions can have a lot of importance beyond what you may have experienced in that discussion.
So people shouldn't feel bad if they didn't manage to change someone's mind.
