The mistake with the masks

THE TOP OF THE ICE berg
 
It's been a mess since yesterday with the famous "mistake with the masks".
Beneath the obvious tragic dimension of the event and the countless digital "tweets" that blur it, there are some fundamental problems that we as a society have chosen to ignore for decades now.
 
In the beginning, nobody teaches us growing up what entrepreneurship means and what money is. This is of course a global phenomenon and not just a Greek phenomenon.
 
There is an illusion that the (any) state from somewhere finds, creates, magically appears, money to pay its obligations. From public sector salaries to pensions, from public health to school masks, from defense spending to infrastructure maintenance.
 
And whenever such a ludicrous mistake is made, as with masks in schools, hardly anyone questions the obvious. Who will pay for the damage?
When the official announcement is that "it is deemed necessary to reformulate the original specifications of the masks" and the slogan is "sorry guys, we wrote them well but the manufacturer didn't understand them well but it's not his fault either because we didn't write it so clearly in the announcement" then we all pay the damage together. The taxpayers.
 
In my opinion the deeper problem is how the State, at almost no level, it does not operate as a serious business.
 
Where someone writes the specifications and therefore has the responsibility.
Where someone talks to the subcontractor and takes a few samples of the finished product before giving the final OK for the big order.
Where someone receives the order, checks the packing slips and invoices, counts the pallets, samples some products and then signs the receipt.
When someone receives the boxes at their school, they check all the above and then sign the receipt.
And of course in the real market someone or some in this chain they have the responsibility and pay the price of any "mistake".
 
In essence, NO ONE IS TO BLAME for what happened.
Because guilt involves a point and deceit.
Example:
1. I'm at the office, I'm talking to a colleague and there's a glass of water on the desk.
We argue, I start to flare up and on top of my nerves I give one to the glass and it is thrown against the wall and breaks.
In this case I'm to blame who broke the glass
2. I am in the office, I am talking to a colleague and there is a glass of water on the desk.
I speak passionately about the new project we are preparing, I make demonstrative movements and inadvertently give one to the glass and it is thrown against the wall and breaks.
In this case I AM RESPONSIBLE who broke the glass
 
And while it's not my fault because I didn't do it on purpose, I have to I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and repair the damage.
 
What is missing in this country are people who, whatever their level or position, take responsibility for their actions.
And they do the best they can afterwards.
It may be best for them to change positions because where they are is not the most ideal for their own talents and skills.
 
If each one of us begins to take responsibility for himself, his actions, his life, then we will be able to create a society where "mistakes" will be fewer and our path will be harmonious and not divisive.
 
PS this text is not placed on whether the use of masks in schools and in general is good or bad, nor is it intended to personally affect those involved in the event. The mistake with the masks was the occasion and one among hundreds that we have experienced in the last decades.
