Musing For Today
Any time there's a disaster, catastrophe or a tragedy, the first thing the analysts do is try to find a causation.
The one single factor, event, individual or group who or that singlehandedly brought about a negative set of events.
Problem is, there never really is just any one factor that leads up to an ultimate consequence. Everything and everyone is integral, interwoven, and interactive.
What happens and whatever ends up being or becoming is always a result of ongoing chain-reaction events and factors mixing together to create the overall environment at any given moment in time.
This is why blaming any one single person, group, or isolated event as being "the cause of" is so foolhardy.
But societies do it all the time.
And, notice: None of our issues ever get resolved.
