In One Word, What Is Wrong With Today’s Society?

Entitlement.

Prosperity has been around for so long, it’s misled us to believe it’ll stay around forever, regardless of our choices, actions and behaviors.

So we stop working hard, stop being nice, stop being humble. And when things don’t fall into our lap, we complain.

When shit hits the fan (and it will), those, who never stopped believing in the values that have been tried and true for centuries, will come out on top.

Work hard, be nice, win.

“How much better to pursue a straight course and eventually reach that destination where the things that are pleasant are the things that are honorable finally become, for you, the same.” — Seneca
