The name of the game is" beletics"

Mr Alain,
Keep on writing and do not change the tone. You rightly put it, selfishness is at the heart of our problem. We will only move forward when we stop focusing on the faults of others and reflect on our contribution to the problem.
As you said, it is impossible to advocate change when you are doing the same things you want others to drop. We must accept that we are all connected and that what goes wrong comes wrong. When this circle is broken no matter the justification somebody will get hurt. The general cry is get rid rid of our corrupt leaders and that will fix all our problems. At times I wonder if changing the leaders will make any difference. We once had an opposition which has slowly disintegrated and it is now "good for nothing" because they are not very different from those in power. The name of the game is" beletics" as one of the opposition leaders famously coined. It seems they too are more interested in taking care of their stomachs than representing the people.
Many people are waiting for a Messiah, a super hero to come and get us out of the present predicament. They will have an excruciating wait for there is no messiah out there. We are part of the problem and must also stand up and start being part of the solution. We must reclaim Moral rectitude and stop using shortcuts to solve our problems. What makes us think that we can break the law and not also reap its consequences. The good book says that we reap what we sow. Where laws are not obeyed there is chaos. The weak are oppressed by the strong. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer. When economic laws are broken, you will not get a return from your investments.
