Default When bad things happen to pretty good ideas

Ever try to introduce a simple concept to a group only to have it become distorted and complicated beyond recognition?

The group dynamic and the social structure never seem to support basic linear thinking. Why are we humans so strongly compelled to attach meaning to the most insignificant and meaningless things?

The task is now to sit back and watch a straight piece of string become entangled like a child's fishing reel. It was all so simple. Now it is fraught with some misguided sense of entitlement and its beauty is lost.

If one bad apple can't spoil the whole bunch, it sure can lead the others astray.

In this age in humanity, what is "fair" in the treatment of other adults when they behave like children?
