I think one of my biggest frustrations is when people fail to see the bigger picture. Â When a system plays out, just the way it is designed to operate, why do we blame the people who are merely actors in the process? Â Why do we shoot the messengers?
For example, there are 30-40 million people in this country without health insurance. Â Many of those people are good, respectable individuals who find themselves in a difficult, and possibly temporary, situation. Â Others have been raised within a culture of poverty – social, spiritual, cultural, and financial poverty – they don’t know any other way. Â It isn’t their fault they are in the situations they find themselves, and they don’t know any other way out. Â Why do we blame these victimized people for the using the only system they know?
