Rot never needs an excuse to spread. It is the nature of decay to corrupt, to infect and to destroy. Rot from the core spreads outward and onward (Frank Herbert, 'corrupted' a little). Purity and virtue is what takes work. While putrescence will circulate unchecked, righteousness and justice only prevail with blood, sweat and the tears of alienation from the mainstream. To paraphrase a saying, only effort will bring change - decay requires inaction to survive.
In that sense, this land of mine needs work. A family led by thieves will always see it's children struggle to feel pride, to stand tall.
