Our interconnectedness has created a complex weave of people and organizations that rely on one another to function. This is true in a crisis and also in daily life. On the other hand, we all crave simple solutions to the problems we face. Most of the time today, we are unable — through our own individual actions — to solve a wicked problem. We can do our part, we can encourage others, we can be willing partners — but, the complex will generally take more time and a larger effort from people and organizations outside of our personal control.
This then is life in the 21st century. Deal with it!
