“Solving a problem means that we take responsibility for it. ‘This is my problem. I will study it. I will master it. I will take responsibility for it. I will act to do that which I can do.’
Taking responsibility is not something that is encouraged. We are encouraged to be victims. We are encouraged to blame ‘them.’ In doing so, we give away our power. We reject the opportunity to accept responsibility, to identify our complicity in the process, and, by changing how we feel and act, to reinvent our world individually and collectively.”
