John 9: 1-3
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
And his disciples asked him, saying, 
Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, 
Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: 
but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

There are so many things wrong with so many systems. Individual/ societal, mental/ environmental, manage-mental…. Impulsively, I might recklessly dismiss something that is meant to show me “the works of God”. I want the abundance of human deficiencies to remind me of the perfection of God, so that I am continually invited and enticed “to do good, and to love God, and to serve him”(Moro. 7: 13). I believe that I can reach the solution by observing the works of God, rather than by staring at dissected dysfunction (i.e. getting to the root of the problem).
