you don't sit in a scalding hot bath do you?
or keep food you didn't like the taste of sitting on your tongue?
when it comes to social issues, why are we so prone to remain sitting in that bath tub or tasting the food just to complain about it later?
why not change it now?

fix the water temp.
spit out the food [politely, of course].

cold water not working? impossible to get rid of the food?
learn from it and move on.
remember next time to fix the piping and not to eat that food again.

why then do we continue to keep filling up the bathtub with hot water knowing it will be too hot and eating food we know we don't like?
does complaining about it make us feel better?

does it make us feel like "well, at least we've acknowledged the problem. I'll wait for someone else to come fix it. get a plumber, hire a chef."
what would our world look like if we took a stand against stagnancy?
against waiting for someone else.
stop waiting and whining. start being that change.
