Many of these people I am surrounded by have the intellectual capacity for critical thinking and theory, but have a laziness that makes them inclined to squash any level of challenging thought.

They seem to be like animals in the sense they cannot comprehend the idea of sacrificing short term pleasure in pursuit of a long term goal.

Americans have become complacent and lazy in the sense that things that require sacrifice of pleasure are taboo.

The “Why not just be happy where you are at?” type of thinking prevails in most social classes I have been a part of.

Only society’s fringe accepts dreams and goals at the cost of personal sacrifice.
