We all live in a society and the society have built with so many systems which are meant to help us with our living in the society. These systems follow certain rules for there functioning irrespective of individual, that means all are common. Often, we come face to face with different malformations of these systems and they, most probably we will get frustrated about it and will give comments like this should be like this, that should be like this, etc. I myself also has faced so many situations similar to that. While thinking, what I am doing is, just gets a bit frustrated about all those things and then slowly will forget that. I believe this is the same with everyone as we humans have the ability to forget things as time passes, but sometimes, I feel like something should be done, but then will make up my mind because when i look around, others like me are just ignoring such things and moving on with there life. Everyone is happy with what they are given, though they deserve more that than. Many times i feel like its us, its always us who help such malfunctioning to develop and progress. We all want a change but is not willing to take the first step. I am not telling you that I am brave, same is the case with me. Friends, what i want to know is have you ever had a feeling like this in your life and have you ever tried to correct things by your own instead of waiting for others to do it for you?

GOD, YES. It sounds like you are observing a lot of people who haven't been proactive in there lives. If you'll notice, there are many individuals throughout history who have found self-actualization. These individuals are able to create their lives, rather than become victim to them. You say many people are happy with what they're given; I do not believe this is the case. I believe that people become comfortable in their ways of living, and EVEN IF THEY ARE MISERABLE they do not possess the belief in themselves that they can change. Perhaps if they feel like they could facilitate change, they are either too afraid of it, or feel the world will not be perceptive of it and that all efforts are bound to failure. I know many people like this. They're the ones that have big dreams or feel unease in their lives, but are unwilling to change it. The beautiful thing is our power as human peoples to manifest our reality. We do it everyday, whether we are conscious of it or not. We choose whether we see heaven or hell on this earth, everything is just .

Yes, you are right, history shows about individuals who have achieved heights, but it was in history, what we should do is learn from them and lead our life in the present. Its not like people are comfortable with their ways of living, because that is never possible (purely this is my thought). As you said, it could be so because of what am seeing around me, but I really do get angry and frustrated, has tried to react, but ended up in misery, so changed it. :-)
