The world I live in doesn't fill me with hope. I,
t's a world in which laziness, complacency and entitlement runs rampant and that contradicts my upbringing, my set of standards and morals and the way I choose to live my life.
My life is vibrant and happy and I live well every day. I have what I want and need, who I want and need, and I have few complaints. This does not mean it's perfect or that things do not go wrong, it means that I actively work towards creating the best life I can possibly live every single day, and that takes effort.

I have worked for what I have, my guy and I work very hard on that.
I don't only mean we both work hard at our jobs although we definitely do that. No, we work at everything that makes our life what it is from our own thoughts and attitudes to our relationship, positioning our financial future, our health, physical appearance, emotional and mental well-being, general happiness and every other aspect of life that contributes towards making life joyous.
But the society we live in doesn't often seem to do the same.
Society, human begins, are becoming more lazy in many ways and the explosion of artificial intelligence and other automation is crushing the sense of hard work, effort and the ability to strive for something. People are more complacent than they used to be as well. They sit back thinking, knowing or hoping someone else will furnish their life with what they need or want; they even have the audacity to expect it and to see it as an affront when things don't simply happen for them despite their lack of any input or effort. Entitlement.
I don't like society in general.
It's filled with egotistical, lazy, selfish, hurtful, prideful people who don't even seem to have the ability or desire to think for themselves to the point that most people are so unprepared for their older age and that puts pressure on others. Humans treat themselves so poorly and carelessly, is it any wonder they treat the planet even worse? I think it is not.
One of the #weekend-engagement topics asked what three behaviours I'd like to remove from humanity and entitlement, complacency and laziness are those three things...just three amongst many other changes humanity needs to make if they hope to have a sustainable future.
