What you see in these images is an unfiltered view of neglect, pure and simple.
No glossy edits, no sugar-coating. The first image shows fish swarmed by flies, abandoned in the open—neglected and ignored. It’s more than just food rotting and then waiting for sun to dry the rot off! I see it as a clear failure of responsibility.
The second photo isn’t much better, a bucket of the same fish (but now dried) packed away as if containment is enough to fix the underlying problem. Buyers see the fish in the bucket and buy the delicacy, some eat it instantly!
This isn’t just about fish. It’s about how we deal with the things we’re responsible for. If you can’t handle what’s in front of you, no amount of “sealing it away” will fix the deeper issues. It’s the same in business, in leadership, and in life.
Neglect creates problems.
Turning a blind eye doesn’t make the flies disappear. You either clean up, step up, or deal with the mess. This fish can be better processed for improved quality.
