If we choose to remove ourselves from society to get a better view of what is going on, we will see that nothing is perfect. Everything is a bit dysfunctional. This is because we are only human and trying to figure things out on the fly from within the Petri-dish.

The choice is whether or not we take this personally.

• The good option is to take what we learn and plan a better path for ourselves within the dysfunctional mess, with the humble hope of being a positive example to the people around us.
• The bad option is to arrogantly try to change the entire world through a few drastic actions.

• The former will spread enduring change slowly.
• The latter will only make the dysfunction worse.

There are far more Billionaires, Executives and Generals isolated in boardrooms confronted with this choice than hermits living off-grid in the woods.
