People need to be held accountable. Everyone has a sob story. Doesn't give you the right to be a lazy fuck not doing shit because of it. This is not how we do work. In fact, this is pathetic. You can't afford to lose sight of where you were and what was happening just because you were busy doing god's work. And at the same time, everyone needs to be held accountable to the same extent as everyone else for whatever it was that they were working on. You took up the responsibility. Deliver it.

Who owns the creation? The society? THe community that has built around the thing? How are things decided? Democracy? Benevolent Dictatorship? Oligarchy? What is the status quo? Why are people who have been involved from the very beginning kicked out the moment they are no longer needed? How does this thing work? This is so upsetting; what happened with people, what happens with people. But sometimes, it's necessary. I have personally moved away from two organisations, one where I was doing damage to the organisation, and the other where the organisation was doing damage to me. So it might be alright. But, to kick the veterans to the curb and not even taking their ideas up for discussion once, is a folly that people shouldn't be out for committing. It's just extremely disrespectful to all their contributions, and, in blunt honesty, just plain stupid.

How do we trust that others will carry the legacy that we've established and do justice to it? Honestly, we can't. This is something out of controls, now and forever. Even if there's someone you trust with your life, there's no guarantee that 5 passings of leadership down the line, the new folks will have the same level of ethos and dedication and devotion to whatever you've built. And I've seen people change colours in less than a year, so 5 passings is a long shot. It'll probably happen faster. Having said that, it'd be nice if it doesn't. So to anyone out there, don't give up! Have good mechanisms, and more importantly, culture in place to ensure that whatever you're establishing or continuing will continue ever the more.
