The world is what you make of it, friend. If it doesn’t fit, you make alterations. — Silverado

I’ve never understood those who just accept things as they are.  I’m a conservative by nature, and a realist, and I realize that sometimes you just have to keep your head down and live through things.  But there are a lot of people for whom apathy is a daily companion.  Be it tradition, inertia, or just plain hopelessness, but something keeps them from looking at their condition, recognizing it for what it is, and making it better.  I hope I never get to that point.
