Why do we build systems? Why are they neccessary for our communality? Then why do they always ultimately fail? Must be us, musn't it, as we build them?
All systems soon begin to fail because the failure of every system we build rests in the reason for their creation, our insecurity.
Priests, politicians, businessmen, doctors, administrators, generals, police officers, anyone anywhere, corrupt any system, use it to enhance their own security by rising up in its hierarchy, towing the given self-justifying line, and encircling the internal wagons when exposed, at the expense of those outside the institution.
Once this happens, the institution has become a self-sustaining entity, largely only concerned about itself, regardless of its original aims.
