John F. Kennedy once said: "Change is the law of the life. Those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future".
Despite the words of one of America's most iconic presidents, America as a nation does seem to be shockingly unwilling to adapt to certain changes.
Or come to terms with certain realities which the rest of the world seems to have accepted long ago.
Making one think sometimes that all attempts to change in the United States are only heard by deaf ears.
Redditor swansonite456 was curious to hear what people believe Americans are unable, or unwilling, to hear, leading them to ask:
"What are Americans not ready to hear?"

But scary as change can be, it is also necessary.
Making it important to at least always hear what people have to say, and actually listen to them.
