I thought that this perspective from Fareed Zakaria was spot on. Highly articulate and well thought out. I liked the metaphors he draws upon to tell this story. This is worth listening to more than once.

How will trust be restored? I can’t see this happening, unfortunately. And for those who know me, I am an optimistic person who believes in magic.

This is not only a problem in America but in so many democracies around the world. We can cast some of the blame towards social media, but whatever the reason, I put it down to one thing: GREED.

What could be a catalyst for trust to start being restored? I can’t picture this. And I have a healthy imagination. While Trump and his pals are stealing left, right and center, I can only see trust diminishing.

Greed is the biggest disease in the world today. And it is all around us. I don’t have to look much further than my own circle to witness greed. A very sad story when I sit here and think about it.
