Oh no! Dirty dishes in the work kitchen again!
OK. You start with a kitchen and all the dishes are clean. People use the dishes. Some wash up afterwards and some do not. There is an imbalance.
So, do nothing until all the dishes are dirty. Leave them that way as the default. Then everyone washes the dishes they need in order to use them. Balance restored.
It's like the difference between snooker tables in a club and pool tables in a pub.
The pub pool tables are clear of balls. Each time you want to play you set up, play and walk away, leaving the table once more clear of balls.
In the club snooker hall, the tables are all set up ready to play. You play, set them up again for the next players and walk away.
Robert Benchley famously said: "There are two kinds of people in the world: those that think there are two kinds of people in the world and those that do not."
If the two cases described above were determinants of the kind of world we want to live in, which would you prefer?
