Complacency The Root Of All Evil

Complacency is the root of all evil. Being satisfied - well there is nothing wrong with that.  However, being complacent can lull us into a sense of security that is false.  Life requires effort to keep all aspects of life in check.  Without struggle there is no strength.  Problem is why do we need to struggle to work towards a goal? Maybe it's because we have lost appreciation for what we did have and are trying so desparately to regain it.  When we become complacent life usually becomes boring and seems like we are not being challenged. When life becomes boring we seek elsewhere for a stimulus.  Sometimes people throw away something good for something better, only to find the good was good enough and the better never came close.  It's ironic that the thing that we seek can derail everything that we worked for.  Gaining anything worth having is a process of maintance and a process. Fighting for what you believe in, it is an understatement. Anything worth having must be must be fought for, always nurtured, and cared for.  Not many people understand this concept. Complacency is a trap for the mindless, those who believe life owes them happiness.  The reality is we have to fight for our circumstance and preserve it. Life offers no free rides and a lesson that needs to be learned by many. Best, Sean
