What is complacency? By definition, it is a feeling of quiet pleasure or security, often while unaware of some potential danger, defect, or the like; By example it is Nazi Germany, Occupation of Tibet by the Chinese, Rwanda Genocide of 1994, the Sudanese crisis, the "war on terror", the government corruption, the blind democracy we live in, the infiltration of harmful legal drugs by pharmaceutical companies, the WAITING on a savior....just a few examples. For most of us, it is much easier to trust the media, advertisements and political figures than it is to question their intent. It is much easier to believe we are the good guys than to understand we are actually not. It is much easier to look to your neighbor for the answer than to be the one to come up with one,it is much easier to gossip about what Kim Kardashian is doing than to do some research as to why we have 18 year old kids dying in Afghanistan for our country and the "war on terror", it is much easier to sit in church and be told a savior is coming than to ask your Church WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE?! THAT is complacency! We are all guilty of it. It starts with the individual and spreads to the masses. If we are not educating ourselves, asking why, researching intent and applying what we learn we are all guilty of the consequences of complacency. It is not up to a president to help us see and make a change. It is a up to every single human being. However, if complacency is what you wish for, good luck to you my friend.
