In life there are two courses we can take.
1. Acceptance of circumstance (ie. Do nothing)
2. Apply force against the status quo (ie Take Action)
Both are choices either willfully made or made out of ignorance. Some battles are worth fighting. Some are worth ignoring.
So long as my family and friends are safe and successful, there is no need for me to take action.
Being rebellious for the sake of rebelling is childish and ignorant.
This highlights the type of thinking that is one of the biggest problems we face as a species.
"Who cares if a large portion of the planet's life is being wiped out, who cares that millions of people struggle with lack of necessary survival resources, as long as I am not directly affected, why should I care?"
It is really too bad that these people who are driven by greed and selfish motives don't realize that we as a species benefit more from cooperation and sharing than we do from constant infighting ad exploitation.
Humans are the only species that utilizes intraspecies competition more than cooperation.
Doesn't seem to be working very well for the vast majority of us.
