Look for causes, not villains
When something goes wrong don’t look for an individual or a group to blame. Accept that bad things can happen without anyone intending them to. Instead spend your energy on understanding the multiple interacting causes, or system, that created the situation.

CURATOR'S NOTE
We are often wrong about the world, people always tell us how bad it is and how bad it will be, blaming the new generations and technology. Use your brain, improve yourself, your knowledge and ideas, don't trust and don't absorb everything people say: TRUST FACTS.
