There is a powerful craving in most of us to see ourselves as instruments in the hands of others and thus free ourselves from the responsibility for acts which are prompted by our own questionable inclinations and impulses.

Looked at another way, the more self-righteous observers there are, the more chaos (and "waste") will be seen.
