How can we mend a world so used to status efficiency - an organizational model that allows things to slip through, things that are no-ones specific fault.
Business must make a profit. Shareholders must make money, therefore they must receive money. All departments must show a flow chart of incoming and outgoing costs. People must be hired to do the job and fired if things don't go right, regardless of whether they are to blame or not.
Life is represented by things coming in and things going out. Anything beyond that is management and management must show their bosses are not to blame. Blame must be assigned but not to whoever is in charge.
Workers must fix what they cannot control as well as what they can. The pandemic is more than a coronavirus, it's the system. The pecking order.
The fabric of our world is torn between our sensitivity to suffering and the habit of seeing things as collateral damage, inefficiencies, reality, the system. This is like asking us to self harm and expecting we will get over it.
When the fabric is washed and worn, washed and worn, other things happen.
You are not too sensitive - you are present.
