Sometimes, I think that we (the people I come across going about my daily activities) are complete utter failures, and that’s including myself. We’re unwilling to do anything to change our present situation, even if we dislike it. For example, each day, we go to the cookhouse and whine about how bad the food is, but we do nothing about it, and during the surveys, we still give it a reasonable score. Compare this to Kosovo in 1981, where a group of students from the University of Pristina staged a protest over bad food in their cafeteria, and that eventually erupted to nationwide riot which had to be put down by the Yugoslav Army. Although bad food was only one out of the multitude of reasons, it was the spark that set off all the bottled displeasure and anger in the people. Think about it, something as simple as bad food in the cafeteria.
Here, we choose to constantly knuckle under and do nothing. Are we utter failures or what?
