In my mind, talking about solutions is different from informing people of problems. I always thought that once someone knew what was wrong they would come up with a solution for themselves. Talking all day about solutions give people the impression wrongs are magically being made right. In a lot of cases wrongs are being made right, but we're going to need a lot of people to maintain balance.

I think of corporate and government corruption like a messy house or the human body. We can't mope and complain that, once we do manage to fix things, someone's going to want to mess it up again. Human nature dictates this outcome, therefore it's inevitable, right? Well, what makes us want to get up and make our beds or have a clean house or take showers? We realize it's all going to get dirty or messed up the very next day. As corrupt and filthy as humankind is, we also need balance and maintenance.

It's the struggle. Eventually the rubber band springs back or breaks.
