Yes, systems need to be changed, but they don’t change or create themselves. So what needs to happen is for smart, honest, intelligent, compassionate and incorruptible people to replace the corrupt, incompetent ones, and take charge and build new systems or mechanisms from the ground up. Now we get into the problem of where do these people come from? Unfortunately, the wrong kind of people tend to be attracted to positions of power and influence. On top of that we have human nature with all its flaws and shortcomings. The other unfortunate reality is that it takes years, decades, even generations for significant change to occur and new systems to evolve.
