Well, of course, it is easy to blame the activities of a small group of very ignorant and greedy people, who love nothing but having power over other people, but there is blame enough to go around, although guess who bears the brunt of it?
We let this happen. We didn’t think. We let things slide, and the corruption accumulated. In the Tibetian Wheel of Life, they show three symbolic animals at the center who keep the world of illusion turning. They are a Cock, a Pig, and a Snake. Interesting that these images cross over the cultures : An ignorant Strutting Cock, a Greedy pig, and a nasty, Hateful snake in the grass. Half of the problems are caused by Ignorance. A third are caused by Greed, and the other one sixth is Hatefulness.
There are two things we need to do to fix the mess. The formula is : Promote the Positive, and Curb the Negative. We have to do both to make a completed circuit here. So on the one hand, we need to set up positive social structures, and use technologies which operate in harmony with the environment. And on the other hand, we need to expose the corruption, and restrict its operation
Think Globally, and Act Locally. Start where you are, and build from there
