There is this thing called the "SYSTEM" that word is very strong because it has a lot of meaning hiding in it. You really need to understand it in other to get a better view of it.
In life we must as matter of fact belong to a particular group, sect, class or organization before you succeed. Even if you know it all you still need those backup. For without them, they will kill your dream on arrival.
Its everywhere, in the church, offices, mosques, houses, neighborhood, just name it. And that why growth and development in a location is one sided. Why? Because you don't belong!
You see like you rightly pointed out, except we do things on merit and not by race, class, group or by who you are or who your family is in the society, THE WORLD WILL BE FILLED WITH UNENDING LOVE!
Encourage people, who are masters in what they do.
Thank you for this awesome comment.
