Lately I’ve run up against the “system.” There is the inequity of institutions that do not include mercy in their approach. Loans that cannot be renegotiated, policies that do not allow for latitude, people who work as managers without authority.
But this morning I was heartened to meet with a manager who is trying to work the system for the good of the people. She had talked to superiors and they gave some latitude. Now she would work with a board to see where things could go.
May we find more people who work for the people and find ways to make the spirit of the law overcome legalism!
