Most of us are conscious of our right not so much about the rights of others or the truth or justifications behind them.
Our opinions, views are ‘sticky’ and do not get out of our mind even if illogical.

We have a closed mind, not dispassionate while we refuse to admit them.
/1

The opinions, views, conclusions that float around about every issue, every angle, its origin, its solutions widely vary. The versions and conclusions are innumerable in quality and content.

But what is true and right do not vary except over time due to improvements, changes.
/2

Why should there be so much variation and varieties in deviating so much away or around the truth?
It is due to imperfect thought processes, failed leadership, lack of confidence in them.
We are not robots to come with identical, unitary conclusions but can evolve a consensus.
/3

How to go about building that consensus and study, understand what is true and right?

One should not see everything in isolation. All factors, information, opinion about all issues should be collected, analysed to come to conclusion, consensus. A comprehensive look is needed.
/4

We adopt this approach for any investigation or judicial process to arrive at the truth.

Addressing public issues obviously has to be the job of all political leaders or groups especially when democracy is under threat.
But they are pulling in different directions.
/5

All political leaders, parties are trying to secure their political relevance, existence instead of standing together, consolidating their views and launch a political offensive to establish the truth.

They are overconfident; will be irrelevant when democracy does not exist.
