To most, the thought of making any consequential life decision is daunting. People would instead manipulate the system so they can gain their perception of what is enough. We are all survival experts and learn how to apply those skill sets from a very early age.

In a so-called democratic society, we believe we are given a choice, a vote to elect a leader. Once that leader is established, we allow ourselves to be exonerated from any further responsibilities for the future and present outcome of any decisions made by that leader we believe we have elected.
